You Want What?! is the third single to be released from Ace Rejects as part of their double A side containing The Game in the UK and Ireland, whilst it is their debut single across Europe. The track was written by popstar Violetta DiNozzo for the band. The single was released in the UK and Ireland alongside The Game as a double A-Side, whilst featured as a sole single throughout the rest of Europe.

Background[edit | edit source]

You Want What?! was one of the many songs on the band's debut album Shattered Dreams that was written by another artist, this time, Violetta DiNozzo. The band got in touch with the female singer and began work on the recording of the song soon after. The song details a woman who is fed up of having to commit to a series of man she has no interest in. Ama Slater from the band has said it was one of her favourite songs to record for the album.

Originally the song was meant to be the sole third single in the UK and Ireland, however the record company decided that they also wanted something that was quite slow to appeal to a mature audience. The decision was then taken to make it a double A side with The Game. The decision was also taken to release it as a stand alone track in Europe.

Critical Reception[edit | edit source]

Critics have generally praised the song. The Guardian commented on how the feisty attitude of the band was well displayed by DiNozzo's staunch feminist lyrics. The Telegraph also complimented the track saying the girls display their ardent feminist side in the track with their 'vocal performance of a feminist sex tease' whilst still portraying a sense of vulnerability. The production of the track was also praised by critics and Becca Hayworth has considered herself a fan of the song.
