Background and composition
In 2015, a year after topping the UK Albums Chart with her debut album Chapter One, Ella Henderson began working on her second album.[1][2] Despite completing album number two, Henderson suffered from severe anxiety which ultimately led to delays and her departure from Syco Music, for a new deal with Rudimental's label Major Tom's and Asylum Records.[3] It was Rudimental that introduced Henderson to the London-based vocal group House Gospel Choir.[4]
Speaking about how "Risk It All" came about, Henderson said "When the Rudimental boys introduced me to House Gospel Choir, I knew I had to work with them. It was such an amazing experience collaborating with them and Just Kiddin on this song. I hope it uplifts you as much as it did us in the studio."[4] "Risk It All" is a dance music and pop song with a "vibrant production" that invokes "euphoria" and lyrics that speak of giving a relationship a second chance.[5][4] Henderson spoke about the song on her social media accounts, saying "it's alllllll about taking risks and not being afraid to face your fears in love and in life" [sic].[6]
