Kelly Johnson and Denise Dufort later joined and in April 1978 they changed their name to Girlschool.
Their first single Take it all away was released on the City Records label which led to them gaining a Motörhead support slot on the Overkill tour in 1979.
Having signed with Lemmy´s record company Bronze later that year, the band released their first album Demolition in 1980.
After touring Japan in 1982, Enid left and was replaced by Gil Weston of The Killjoys and Girlschool recorded their third album Screaming Blue Murder.
When Kelly left to live in L.A. she was replaced by Cris Bonacci on lead guitar and singer Jackie Bodimead on lead vocals for the 1985 album Running Wild.
After many more line-up changes and releases on various labels, the original bassist/vocalist Enid rejoined the band in 2000, together with Jackie Chambers. In 2002 the band released the 21st Anniversary: Not that Innocent album.
Their 12th and latest output is the re-recorded Hit and Run: Revisited. Girlschool continued to tour Europe and South America in 2011-12 and returned in Japan in 2013. In early 2015, they recorded a new album titled 'Guilty as Sin' with producer Chris Tsangarides, which was released on 13 November 2015. On 30 January 2019, it was announced on the band's website that "Girlschool have parted ways once again with bassist Enid Williams" and that Tracey Lamb would return to replace her.
In 2023, Girlschool, now consisting of Kim McAuliffe on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Denise Dufort on drums, Tracey Lamb on bass and Jackie Chambers on lead guitar have unveiled a video for their new single “Are You Ready?” from their upcoming studio album WTFortyfive?, which will be released on July 28, 2023.

Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey!
Can't kick the habit of these sleepless nights
Soon could be in trouble, better put up a fight
Playing rough, can't get enoughPower play, can't walk away, away
And I say
Can't stop now
All day
All day!
All night
All night!
Well, all right
Can't stop me now, I know what I need
'Cause love and giggles is the only way to be for me
Make my kill, but what a thrill
Mine all mine, never draw the line, no way
And I say
All day
All day!
All night
All night!
All right
All day
All day!
All night
All night!Well, all right
Love and giggles is the only way to be
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey

Despite possible consequences in the future, the singer is willing to put up a fight to maintain their current lifestyle.
The line "Playing rough, can't get enough, power play, can't walk away, away" suggests that their relationship is not always harmonious, but there is an irresistible attraction which keeps them together. The line, "can't stop me now, I know what I need, love and giggles are the only way to be for me" implies that the singer is confident and has found happiness in her unconventional arrangement with her partner. The chorus "all day, all night, well all right" repeats the sentiment of the singer's love for her partner as she embraces every moment with them.
In conclusion, Girlschool's "All Day All Night" speaks to the intense nature of passionate relationships, where there is a craving for each other's company at all times. The lyrics evoke a sense of freedom and abandonment to passion that some may find alluring and others may find dangerous.
