“Let It Shine” was co-written by the acclaimed songwriting team of Marilyn and Alan Bergman, alongside David Foster, a musical titan known for his work with stars like Whitney Houston and Barbra Streisand. Foster also produced I Stand Alone, lending his signature touch of sophistication and polish to the entire album. The song captures a message of hope and inner strength, urging listeners to embrace their unique light and let it guide their path through life.
