All the Light Above It Too is the seventh studio album by American musician Jack Johnson. The album was released on September 8, 2017. The album's lead single, titled "My Mind Is for Sale", was released on July 14, 2017. It is the first of Jack's releases since his 2013 album From Here to Now to You.

Brushfire Records originally made a deal with Johnson to release a new album every two years, which set the release date for November 2015. But Jack did not want to write a song when he did not feel like it; he wanted to write it when it felt natural. The first song written from the album was "Fragments." The song was written during the filming of the movie The Smog of the Sea. It first started off as a small jam session between the crew, and is featured in the movie. As Jack talked about in a "Billboard" Podcast, he didn't know that he was starting the creation of an album with this song. It was not until he wrote "Subplots" (Which was also written during the filming of the movie) that he knew that an album was developing. Both of these songs were the ones that represent nature, and pollution in our environment. He also said that "Subplots" was put at the beginning of the album because it was a great thesis statement for the entire album. "My Mind Is for Sale" was one of two songs that was written about Donald Trump on the album. The song was written just after he won the election and clearly states how Trump is building walls, and putting borders around our beautiful world. The song also focuses on the immigrant ban that Trump enforced very early in his Presidency. The second song about Trump, is the ninth track on the album, "Gather." The song features powerful lyrics such as "Well some of us need to gather, and others gonna have to kill. With everybody so pre-occupied, who's gonna pay the bill?" The song mainly talks about everyone focused on the United States presidential election of 2016, and how the people should gather together and stand up against making borders.

The album was produced by a friend of Johnson, Robbie Lackritz, and recorded at Mango Tree Studio, where he recorded most of his other albums. The album was mostly inspired by the sayings of Donald Trump, surfing, and camping. Also, Johnson had just recently worked on the short documentary, "Smog of the Sea", and released his song "Fragments". The documentary took a one-week journey through the sea to study animals, and sea creatures. This got Johnson thinking about what Trump has said about pollution and global warming, and has also included this in his album. Johnson's songs were mostly written while he was camping in the wilderness, or on boats. This was because his home studio is too quiet and you can hear your thoughts when you are trying to write, which makes it not such a productive writing place. "I wrote these songs when I was out of [cellular] reception and phones can't ring, there's not a lot else to do, so we play a lot of guitar," Johnson says. On these camping and boat trips, Johnson brought his backpack with a ukulele in it and with an acoustic guitar. When Jack wrote the album, he made it feature a more groovy style similar to his 2008 album Sleep Through the Static. Johnson originally did not originally have a plan with Brushfire Records to make the record, but decided to make a record by himself. He hopes that the album makes people feel good about such a beautiful world, and to come clean about how we feel.
