"'All at Once'" is a song by American singer Whitney Houston from her self-titled debut album and was released as a single in several European countries as well as in Japan in 19851986. It was not released as a single in North America, but did receive steady radio airplay on Pop and R&B/soul stations there. It is a ballad about a love who leaves without warning and the heartbreak that is felt afterwards. It is written by Michael Masser and Jeffrey Osborne.
