Respect All (song)
2023 single by Ai
"Respect All" is a song recorded by Japanese-American singer-songwriter Ai, released on May 22, 2023, by EMI Records. Titled after Ai's twelfth headlining concert tour, the Respect All Tour, the song samples Bob James' 1982 instrumental song, "Shamboozie".
Background
A few months after the end of the Dream Tour, Ai announced in May 2023 that she would be embarking on another concert tour, titled the Respect All Tour. With 30 performances in Japan, the tour expects to have 80,000 people attend with the easing of COVID-19 prevention rules in Japan. Ai's first single of 2023 was announced, titled after the tour. Ai revealed the song samples Bob James' "Shamboozie" to "liven up the 50th anniversary of the birth of hip hop". Within that same month, Ai performed live in Hiroshima during the 49th G7 summit and announced a global tour to take place in the future.
Music video
A music video was announced the same day "Respect All" was released. It premiered on Ai's YouTube channel hours later. Children who are in the Super Kids Dancers group appeared in the music video, as well as dancers Mona, Mee and Yan with choreography by Reina.

Why this record matters
The phrase “2023 single by Ai” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 19, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q118592454. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2023 and 1982.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
