Writer(s): Gia Rose-Hilton, Sunny Monroe
Producer(s): Gia Rose-Hilton All These Lights is the ninth track on the album, with production from Gia Rose-Hilton. The lyrics were written by Rose-Hilton and Sunny Monroe. The song is described as a metaphor for her life in the public eye and how she deals with it now. The song was originally a collaboration with House singer, Cinzia Ricci, but instead was given to Isabel which she turned into a solo record and later included the singer on the remix version which is more 'dance' than this one. After hearing the song from Dr. Luke and Gia, she decided to include it on her album as it fit perfectly with her theme and message on her album and she strongly felt the lyrics were perfect for where she was in her life at the moment. "All These Lights" is an uptempo electropop and dance-pop song with elements of pop rock and "half-rapped" vocals. The song's lyrics talk about being an entertainer and putting on shows. She also references to different types of lights in which guide her through performing.
Knowing Isabel's style and what she wanted, the two worked for a few months on the track and then finally called in Sunny Monroe to also write a few lines. When it was finished, they sent the track to Isabel in mid 2014, her first time hearing it, and she instantly loved and recorded the track with her vocals. Even though the song was initially meant to be given to Cinzia, due to unknown circumstances, it was passed off to Izzy who then reworked it in her own style. She recorded her vocals in Los, Angeles and it was the last song to be added onto the album. The song progressively builds to the chorus where all the emphasis is put on her 'life of fame' and has a beat break during the bridge which is meant for the 'dance break down' when she performs the track. "All These Lights is about embracing all of the fame, being able to be an entertainer when the lights turn on, performing on stage, different types of lights (spotlight, red light, green light), being able to understand the industry for what it is, lights shining on everything (Bad and good,)" explains Isabel.
[Verse 1]
Something ignites when I walk on the stage
Nothing can touch me, there I escape
Trust me I've learned some new tricks along the way
Like how to put on my, poker face (oh, oh)
Just let me do my thing
And you can watch (you can watch)
Class is in session
You're being taught
How to take charge on the floor
[Hook]
Spotlight is on me and I put on a show (hah, hah, hah)
Green light tell me when you want me to go (hah, hah, hah)
Red light then all of the curtains will close (hah, hah, hah)
Don't have to tell me, I already know how this goes (hah, hah, hah)
[Chorus]
Can't hide or run away everything on display
With all these lights (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
When the music comes on all the fear be gone
With all these lights (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
Expect me to stand there and quiver
Instead I just deliver
Been learned to let go it's out of my control
With all these lights (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ho, ho, ho)
[Verse 2]
Something ignites when I'm put on the spot
Feeling this energy, and it won't stop
I become an animal that's got no heart
If you wanna play with me, better be smart
Just let me do my thing
And you can watch (you can watch)
Class is in session
You're being taught
How to take charge on the floor
[Hook]
Spotlight is on me and I put on a show (hah, hah, hah)
Green light tell me when you want me to go (hah, hah, hah)
Red light then all of the curtains will close (hah, hah, hah)
Don't have to tell me, I already know how this goes (hah, hah, hah)
[Chorus]
Can't hide or run away everything on display
With all these lights (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
When the music comes on all the fear be gone
With all these lights (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
Expect me to stand there and quiver
Instead I just deliver
Been learned to let go it's out of my control
With all these lights (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ho, ho, ho)
[Bridge]
Let's dance
Are you feeling it?
No stopping me (w-w-with all these lights)
Say it again (w-w-with all these lights)
[Hook]
Spotlight is on me and I put on a show (hah, hah, hah)
Green light tell me when you want me to go (hah, hah, hah)
Red light then all of the curtains will close (hah, hah, hah)
Don't have to tell me, I already know how this goes (hah, hah, hah)
[Chorus]

With all these lights (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
When the music comes on all the fear be gone
With all these lights (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
Expect me to stand there and quiver
Instead I just deliver
Been learned to let go it's out of my control
With all these lights (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ho, ho, ho)
