When the Lights Go Out is a studio album by American singer and actress Pia Zadora, released on August 13, 1988 by CBS Records.

The set was produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis in 1987 and was intended to be released in the United States on Epic Records, but those plans were scrapped and was instead released in Europe through CBS Records,[1] where it failed to chart in that region.

Its only release from that album, "Dance Out of My Head," peaked at number 65 in the United Kingdom.
