"All That I Can Say" is a song by American hip hop soul recording artist Mary J. Blige, released as the lead single from her fifth studio album Mary (1999). The song was composed and produced by fellow R&B/neo soul singer-songwriter and close friend Lauryn Hill. She also performed the song on the season five premiere episode "Good Vibrations" on Moesha.
The song was a moderate success in both the United States and United Kingdom, peaking at numbers forty-four and twenty-nine, respectively. Blige performed the song on Top of the Pops, and her performance was shown the week "All That I Can Say" charted.
