Kaskade version
Kaskade's version of the song, simply entitled "Lessons in Love", features Neon Trees and it was released on his seventh studio album, Fire & Ice. This version is a more house-inspired remake of "Lessons in Love (All Day, All Night)", and was released a year earlier. "Lessons in Love" debuted and reached number 94 on the Billboard Hot 100.
In the second disc of Fire & Ice, there is a secondary "ICE" version of the song, "Lessons in Love (Kaskade's ICE Mix)". This version does not feature Neon Trees and is the only "ICE" track in the album that removes vocals. Its compositional elements are similar to that of disco.
The Headhunterz remix became an official single in the U.S. via Ultra Music. It was released on iTunes on December 11, 2012 and on Beatport on December 26, 2012. Headhunterz has released a music video for the remix.
Music video
The music video for "Lessons in Love (All Day, All Night)" was published to YouTube on October 16, 2012 through the Neon Trees Vevo channel. It has currently obtained over 1,000,000 views. The lyric video was released 8 days prior to the music video's release. The behind-the-scenes video explains how the music video is somewhat like a sequel to the main video for "Everybody Talks".
The video begins after where "Everybody Talks" ended, with Neon Trees frontman Tyler Glenn and a girl with pink sunglasses outside an unknown school. Tyler decides to get out of the van and enter the building. He runs into a strange man, likely a teacher, who yells at him before he runs away. Meanwhile, it appears that Tyler is the teacher for a class he is in, and he doesn't realize that the same girl with the pink sunglasses is inside the class. He teaches the class about self-esteem and respect. Near the end of the video, after a disco ball appears, everyone is turned into zombies (except for the girl with the sunglasses, who laughed). Tyler escapes the classroom and goes down to the main factory room where he was attacked, only to be waking up in the van where he started at with the girl. Throughout the video, the band is seen playing downstairs in the main room where Tyler was last seen being chased by the zombies. In the closing scene, immediately after Tyler wakes up and before the girl drives off with him, his's eyes are glowing while the screen fades colors. This is likely a reference to Michael Jackson's Thriller due to the fact that this video was released near Halloween.
Live performances
Before the end of 2012, Neon Trees has performed "Lessons in Love (All Day, All Night)" in Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve. It was performed in a medley with their previous hit songs, "Animal" and "Everybody Talks".
