All On Me

Devin Dawson came into view when he filmed a mashup of the Taylor Swift songs "Blank Space" and "Style" with his Belmont University dorm mate Louisa Wendorff. They posted the clip on YouTube on December 23, 2014, and it soon gained popularity after Swift herself shared it. The video earned the Orangevale, California native a publishing deal with Warner/Chappell and Neon Cross Music.

This is Dawson's debut single, which he wrote his twin brother Jacob Durrett and his good friend Austin Taylor Smith at the latter's basement studio in Nashville's Antioch neighborhood. The trio had no immediate song ideas when they kicked off their session, so Dawson pulled up his smartphone, where he found the prospective title, "All On Me," which had caught his eye that morning. "I literally just started listing all these things for the idea of 'put it all on me' - you know, the burden, the weight, everything," recalled Dawson to Billboard. "We went all the way down through the chorus and kind of just listed things: 'When it don't add up you can count on me,' 'When you're mad you can put the fall on me,' 'Call on me' - all these things that are 'on me,' right? We just really wanted to explain what that 'all' was. We kind of, for lack of a better term, just kind of word-vomited it out."

Dawson cut the track with producer/Neon Cross owner Jay Joyce (Eric Church, Little Big Town). With the help of Joyce, he signed to Warner Bros. Records in 2017. According to the singer, "All On Me" was a key song - maybe the song, that got him his record contract.
