We'll Sing in the Sunshine is an album by Australian-American pop singer Helen Reddy that was released in 1978 by Capitol Records and included two songs that were also covered by Johnny Mathis in the first half of that year: "All I Ever Need", which came out on his March release, You Light Up My Life, and "Ready or Not", on which he duetted with Deniece Williams for their June release, That's What Friends Are For. Reddy also ventures into Beatles territory with their rockabilly number "One After 909" and takes on Jeff Lynne's "Poor Little Fool" with accompaniment in the vein of Electric Light Orchestra. This was her first album that did not reach Billboard's Top LP's & Tapes chart. On February 23, 2010, it was released for the first time on compact disc as one of two albums on one CD, the other album being her 1977 release, Ear Candy.

Just as her last album, Ear Candy, had "You're My World", a cover of someone else's hit song, as its lead single, so was the case here. The title track from this album was released on March 27, 1978, but became her first lead single not to have any appearances on the Billboard Hot 100. It did, however, debut on Billboard's Easy Listening chart in the issue of the magazine dated April 22, and peak at number 12 during its nine weeks there. Reddy writes of this song, "For those who can't commit because they hear the call of the open road, this one is for you."
