Ce titre est le seul inédit de sa compilation de remix « You can dance » qui sort fin 1987. Issue de la session d’enregistrement de l’album « True blue » dont elle a été écartée, cette chanson s’inspire du morceau « Everybody is a star » du groupe de rock Sly and the family stone ! Finalement remixée par Shep Pettibone et John Benitez, le titre ne sortira qu’au Japon où il se classera dans les meilleures ventes du moment. La chanson sera même utilisée pour la publicité Mitsubishi dans laquelle Madonna apparaît ! Pas de clip disponible pour ce titre ! A noter qu’il se classera tout de même aux USA dans le Billboard Airplay !

Paroles
Spotlight, shine bright
Tonight, spotlight
No one knows you better than you know yourself
Do the thing you want, don’t wait for someone else
Life is just a party, that’s all you need to know
It’s your turn to shine, baby let yourself go
Everybody is a star Everyone is special in their own way
So you set your goals high and go far
Don’t put off tomorrow what you can do today
Spotlight, open up your eyes and see
Spotlight, shining out for you and me
Spotlight, this world is yours and mine
Spotlight, this is your chance to shine
Don’t stand in the corner waiting for the chance
Make your own music, start your own dance
When you feel the rhythm, I’ll be by your side
Now you have the power, baby love is on your side
Everybody wants to shine Don’t stand in the sideline, step into the light
But it’s got to come from inside
Listen to your heart and step into the
Spotlight, open up your eyes and see
Spotlight, shining out for you and me
Spotlight, this world is yours and mine
Spotlight, this is your chance to shine
Don’t be afraid to fall I’ll hear you when you call
And I’ll be right here by your side Don’t be afraid to try
Spotlight
Everybody is a star It’s got to come from the heart
Spotlight, this world is yours and mine
Spotlight, this is your chance to shine
Don’t be afraid to fall I’ll hear you when you call
And I’ll be right here by your side Don’t be afraid to try
Everybody wants to shine Don’t stand in the sideline, step into the light
But it’s got to come from inside
Listen to heart and step into the light
Don’t be afraid to fall I’ll hear you when you call
And I’ll be right here by your side Don’t be afraid to try
Spotlight, open up your eyes and see
Spotlight, shining out for you and me
Spotlight, this world is yours and mine
Spotlight, this is your chance to shine
(Spotlight) Everybody is a star, you know who you are
(Shine bright) This is your chance to shine
(Tonight) It’s got to come from the heart, do it right from the start
(Spotlight) And step into the light
Everybody is a star, you know who you are This is your chance to shine
It’s got to come from the heart, do it right from the start
And step into the light
