Background and writing
edit"I Just Wanna" is the 11th track on the Kiss 1992 studio album Revenge.[1]
The song was written by Paul Stanley and Vinnie Vincent.[2] The latter also co-wrote two other songs on the album.[2]
Music video
editThe music video was directed by Paul Rachman, who was also the director of two more videos from Revenge: "Unholy" and "Domino".[2] He recounted in an interview with Songfacts:
We had to do "I Just Wanna" while the band was on tour. We only had one day with them in London while they were touring, so I had to come up with an idea we could do in one day. It was a Paul Stanley song, and it was pop-y. The previous song ["Unholy"] was really, really dark — it was a dark void kind of atmosphere — so I went in the opposite direction. And that video was accomplishable to shoot in one day on a stage in London.[2]
Composition
editIn the chorus Stanley repeats "I just wanna f..." a couple of times until he finally completes the phrase "I just wanna forget you".[2]
