@SoMu_STK look at this https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/I_Am..._All_of_Me
In this song, after just skimming through it, it seems the lyrics basically say something like "This is who I am. All of me. Do you want to know me? Do you want to experience me?" Something similar to that anyway.
"I am me" and "I am all of me" might be quite similar depending on the context. I'd point out that these are more poetic phrases and without context they don't have a lot of meaning on their own.

私は私の全てです。
It seems like this is a phrase from a song. It's not something people would normally say.
There is a song I know with a similar phrase "Here I am, all of me, take my life, it's all for Thee (you)" (Take my Life by Chris Tomlin)

I see, but I’m still not sure what the sentence means. Like, how is it different from just “I am me”?

Actually I don’t really remember. I was thinking of how I should translate “私は私だ (a lyric from a Japanese song, lit. “I am me”)” into English, and I remembered I’d heard this phrase somewhere before. It might be a better translation but I wasn’t sure about the difference between them.

Yes, maybe I was remembering that song.
If the two phrases are similar, I think I’ll go with “I am all of me”. I also thought “I am me” looked too simple comparing to the original phrase “watashi wa watashi da”. Three syllables are not enough for this lyric I think. (It’s not like I’m making translyrics though)
Anyway, thank you very much! It helped me a lot.
