All That I Am is the follow-up album to Santana's 2002 studio release Shaman. It was released on October 31, 2005 (see 2005 in music) internationally and a day later in the United States.
The album follows the format of his previous two studio releases, consisting of primarily collaborations with other artists. This has led to some fans rejecting Santana's recent releases, feeling that he is abandoning the Latin and extended solo based nature of his earlier work in favour of commercial appeal by putting his name alongside current artists.
The first single of the album, "I'm Feeling You", features Michelle Branch and The Wreckers, and impacted radio in September 2005.
The second single of the album, "Just Feel Better", features Steven Tyler of Aerosmith and was released in November 2005.
The album was used heavily in the promotion of the iPod nano, and is now certified gold.
