"Once we had a story line in place we needed that big finale number that would leave the audience on their feet. We worked with Kanobby on a few versions, but when he sent "Light it Up", myself and the choreographers couldn't stop dancing and we knew we found the iLuminate theme song," said Kotb. "The energy and lyrics embody what iLuminate represents - the positive message - "Here's your chance, do your dance, we're going to Light it Up!"".
