'''''All or Nothing''''' is the third studio album by British [[contemporary R&B|R&B]] singer [[Jay Sean]], released in the United States on 23 November 2009 through [[Cash Money Records]] and [[Universal Republic]] as the singer's international debut album and a week later on 30 November 2009 with Jayded Records and [[2Point9 Records]]. The album was also released in international markets from December 2009.

The album was preceded by the lead single, "[[Down (Jay Sean song)|Down]]" featuring label-mate [[Lil Wayne]] which impacted in the US on 30 June 2009 and eventually peaked at number one on 17 October 2009. The song was also Sean's highest [[UK Singles Chart|UK chart]] entry reaching number three. Following the album's release, "[[Do You Remember (Jay Sean song)|Do You Remember]]" was released as the second single and in January 2010 peaked at number ten in the US and subsequently making him the first male artist in seven years to have his first two charting singles appear in the Hot 100 simultaneously.

According to aggregated music reviews site [[Metacritic]], the album received mixed reviews by critics who scored the album 59/100.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.metacritic.com/music/artists/jaysean/allornothing?q=Jay%20Sean%20All%20or%20Nothing |title=All Or Nothing Reviews, Ratings, Credits, and More at Metacritic |publisher=Metacritic.com |accessdate=13 January 2012}}</ref> Despite success with the two lead singles from the album, the album itself only debuted at #37 on the US [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] albums chart. It was also his lowest-charting entry on the [[UK Albums Chart]], debuting there at #62. Despite this, it has become his highest-charting album in Japan, reaching #11 on the [[Oricon]] Albums Chart.

==Background and conception==
Jay Sean has been active in the [[British Asian]] and Global [[South Asian]] markets since 2003, and put out his second studio album, ''[[My Own Way (album)|My Own Way]]'' in 2008 throughout Europe and Asia independently via his own Jayded Records. Success with [[Contemporary R&B|R&B]]/[[urban music|urban]] singles like "[[Ride It (Jay Sean song)|Ride It]]" and "[[Maybe (Jay Sean song)|Maybe]]" made him a frequent appearance on the [[UK R&B Chart]]. Eventually, that success caught the attention of [[Ronald "Slim" Williams]], the CEO of Cash Money Records, who said {{Centered pull quote|Ten million views and this kid is not in America? I want to help this kid, and he needs our engine, that is Cash Money Records to take him to the next level.<ref>{{cite web|last=Bhansali |first=Akshay |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1609331/20090415/lil_wayne.jhtml |title=Lil Wayne Gives A Boost To British R&B Star Jay Sean |publisher=Mtv.com |date=15 April 2009 |accessdate=22 September 2009 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090423104444/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1609331/20090415/lil_wayne.jhtml |archivedate=23 April 2009 |url-status=dead}}</ref>}}
On 15 October 2008 at the [[MOBO Awards]], Sean announced that he had signed with the American record label. He explained, "It's always been a dream for me to sign to an American label. And it’s great to be accepted by the best in the game."<ref>{{cite web |author=Shuhel Miah |url=http://www.insidedesi.com/2008/10/16/jay-sean-cash-money/ |title=Jay Sean to take on the U.S |publisher=Insidedesi.com |date=16 October 2008 |accessdate=22 September 2009 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20081019055217/http://www.insidedesi.com/2008/10/16/jay-sean-cash-money/ |archivedate=19 October 2008 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

With regards to the album title, in February 2010, Sean was intervied by writer Pete Lewis of the award-winning [[Blues & Soul]]. Sean commented that, "I don't do things by halves, because there's no point! So I don't want mediocrity. I wanna be the best that I can be. I want it all. And that's what the title and theme of this album is all about!"<ref>[http://www.bluesandsoul.com/feature/509/jay_sean_on_top_of_the_world/ Jay Sean interview by Pete Lewis, 'Blues & Soul' March 2010] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222160912/http://www.bluesandsoul.com/feature/509/jay_sean_on_top_of_the_world/ |date=22 February 2014 }}</ref>

==Recording and production==
After signing with Cash Money, Sean announced through an interview with [[MTV (UK & Ireland)|MTV IGGY]] that he was recording five new songs for the album. Initial reports suggested that a remix was produced for his single "[[Tonight (Jay Sean song)|Tonight]]" with Lil Wayne, as the record label intended to use the song to introduce Sean to the American market. However, it proved to be an unfounded rumour and instead "Down" was announced as the lead single from the album.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.newlilwayne.com/2009/06/jay-sean-talks-to-newlilwayne-com-about-coming-to-america-and-working-with-lil-wayne/ |title=Jay Sean talks to NewLilWayne.com about coming to America and working with Lil Wayne |publisher=Newlilwayne.com |accessdate=22 September 2009 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130222093144/http://www.newlilwayne.com/2009/06/jay-sean-talks-to-newlilwayne-com-about-coming-to-america-and-working-with-lil-wayne/ |archivedate=22 February 2013 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

The album was originally intended to be released during the Summer of 2009, then an October release date was confirmed however the final release date, 23 November 2009 was confirmed. Later announcement confirmed that a whole new set of songs were recorded, where some would feature other artists from the Cash Money Records roster.

In the United Kingdom, Caroline Sullivan of ''[[The Guardian]]'' gave the album 3 out of 5 stars, stating, "The only signs of Britishness are the drum'n'bass foundations of If I Ain't Got You and a duet with ex-[[Sugababes|Sugababe]] [[Keisha Buchanan]] on Far Away – a performance of such weediness that it could only be by two Brits. A collaboration with Craig David, Stuck in the Middle, is much more vigorous.
