"All the Way" (also known as "(Someday We'll Go) All the Way" and referred to as "Go All the Way")[1][2] is a song written and performed by Evanston, Illinois native and Pearl Jam vocalist Eddie Vedder about the Chicago Cubs.[3] It was first performed in public on August 2, 2007, recorded on August 21, 2008 and August 22, 2008, and released as a single on September 18, 2008.
At the time of the song's release in 2008, it had been 100 years since the Cubs had last won the World Series.[4] Vedder has been a lifelong Cubs fan.[5] The song, which fondly looks forward to the Cubs' next World Series victory, was written with the encouragement of certain Chicago Cubs, most notably Ernie Banks. The song was first performed in Chicago and was recorded over two nights in 2008 at the end Vedder's first solo tour.[3][5] The song was accompanied by an official video release by the team following their victory in the 2016 World Series.
