John Legend Celebrates 20 Years of ‘Get Lifted’ On Fallon

March 20, 2025

John Legend is marking twenty years since the release of his debut album, Get Lifted. The R&B star made an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and reminisced about the project – and his music career’s journey. According to Billboard, the crooner took time to reflect on his work with Ms. Lauryn Hill on her acclaimed solo debut, The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill.

Legend contributed piano to Miseducation’s hit single “Everything Is Everything.”

“That was my first credit on any album,” Legend explained. “And it was, you know, one of the greatest albums of all time.” Legend also performed a remix version of Get Lifted’s “Used To Love U” alongside The Roots’ Black Thought. The remix is from the special anniversary edition of the album. “Used To Love U” was the first single from Get Lifted; and the song was co-written and co-produced by Legend with Kanye West.

In what was his 10th appearance on the talk show, Fallon also performed Legend’s hits “Ordinary People” and “Bar Song” with the Grammy winner, and Legend revealed that his daughter Luna is following in his footsteps as a performer. Legend shares kids with his wife Chrissy Teigen. According to PEOPLE, Luna is appearing in a big production at her school.

“Luna is 8. She’s in third grade. She’ll be 9 very soon,” he told Fallon. “She’s doing musical theater at school. She’s playing Young Nala in Lion King.“

Legend is also embarking on his upcoming Get Lifted 20th Anniversary World Tour, which is set to visit 40 cities in the U.K., Europe and North America. The tour begins May 28 and concludes December 9.
