"All I Am" is a song written by Lynsey de Paul and Susan Sheridan. It was first released as an album track on Candles, the 1980 album from the soul group, Heatwave. A version of the song was also released as a track on the 1981 Marti Webb album Won't Change Places, which also featured another Lynsey de Paul/Susan Sheridan song "What You Gonna Do With Your Freedom". Both Marti Webb songs were produced by de Paul. The former lead singer of Heatwave, Johnnie Wilder, Jr. recorded a new version of "All I Am" on his 1996 solo album One More Day. The Indonesian artist Yana Julio, also covered the song and it appeared on his 1998 album, Kucinta, which was accompanied by an official video. The music from "All I Am", formed the basis for the Buddha Monk song "Dedicated" that appeared on his 1998 Billboard charting album The Prophecy; de Paul and Sheridan received co-writing credits on the song.

Although de Paul never released her version of the song, she did sing "All I Am" on the Channel 4 television program, Ladybirds, about her life in music.
