Composition

For Time contributor Eliza Berman, "All Things Go" features lyrics that discuss a wide range of personal challenges Minaj has faced, ranging from strained relationships with her family to the murder of her cousin Nicholas Telemaque in 2011. The song opens with Minaj reflecting on fame and the speed in which her life has moved; "Life is a movie, there'll never be a sequel."^[2] The following verse Minaj speaks about her cousin's death and how she could have helped him if she would have let him stay with her saying; "I'll pop a pill and remember the look in his eyes the last day he saw me."^[2] The final verse sees Minaj address motherhood ranging from her relationship with her mother and the relationship with her own child and references a miscarriage.^[2]

Critical reception

Niki McGloster from Billboard commented that the track was "the most razor-sharp emotionally and most cathartic album cut, it's a great indicator of her newfound musical maturity".^[3]

Live performances

On December 6, 2014, Minaj first performed the song at Saturday Night Live.^[4] The song was regularly used as the opening track for "The Pinkprint Tour".
