I Don't Want It At All

## **I Don't Want It At All**Single by Kim Petras

"**I Don't Want It At All**" is the debut single from German singer Kim Petras. It was released on October 30th, 2017 along with its music video.

## Background

The song was inspired after a meeting that went very well for Kim. "[...] My manager took me out to Sephora and was like, “Buy whatever you want,” and I was like “Yeah, jackpot.” And then I bought whatever I wanted and once we were at checkout, he got really tense and was like “Oh my God, it’s a lot.” The cashier was like, “Just close your eyes and swipe it, sweetie.” That inspired the song. Like, I just wrote it down. I was like, “This is the sickest lyric ever.” The next day we went into the studio and we started some stuff with “Close your eyes and swipe it.” And I was in the studio with my homie Loren, who’s awesome. He’s a great writer. It was super easy." – Kim said in an interview for Genius.

On Genius, Kim also talked about how the song came together: "We started with the track. I was really into really funky 80’s vibes at the moment. I was listening to a lot of ABC and just a lot of funk records from the ‘80s, and we just came up with a riff. Then we wrote that chorus and finished the melodies. We were just like, “Okay, let’s go all in and just make it a total sugar-baby anthem.” That’s what we ended up doing. We were just like, “The brattiest lines ever are like the lines we need to find."

The music video for the song is inspired by the “Princess and the Pea” story and features Petras with several shopping bags walking down the street and a cameo from Paris Hilton.

## Theme

The song is about craving material things and being unashamed to admit it.

"It’s just a sugar-baby anthem. It’s very tongue-and-cheek. It’s heavily inspired by “Material Girl,” and just all the great songs about bratty girls getting whatever the hell they want. It’s a fantasy song about like if my bratty side came out and had a ball. That would be the song. If I had my own movie, that would be the theme of the movie, and it would be called, I Want It All. And there’d be a lot of designer shit." – Kim said in an interview for Genius.

[Chorus]

I want all my clothes designer (Ooh!)

I want someone else to buy 'em (Yeah!)

If I cannot get it right now (Now!)

I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want it at all

I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want it at all

Give me all of your attention (Ooh!)

Give me summer in the Hamptons (Yeah!)

If I cannot get it right now (Now!)

I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want it at all

I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want it at all

[Verse 1]

I want a little bit of this and that

I take a sip of this and a hit at that

I'mma have everything on the rack

Aw yeah, aw yeah

And if you give everything I want

Baby maybe you could be the one

We can kick it, we can have some fun

Aw yeah, aw yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

Baby, don't you fight it

Close your eyes and swipe it

Maybe I could be with you

If you buy me diamonds

And you keep me smiling

Baby, I can be with you

[Chorus]

I want all my clothes designer (Ooh!)

I want someone else to buy 'em (Yeah!)

If I cannot get it right now (Now!)

I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want it at all

Give me all of your attention (Ooh!)

Give me summer in the Hamptons (Yeah!)

If I cannot get it right now (Now!)

I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want it at all

I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want it at all

[Verse 2]

If you wanna get down tonight

You better hook it up at the place I like

Better make it fit like the perfect size

Aw yeah, aw yeah

And if you give me everything I want

You go from none to number one

Yeah, you're so cute, yeah, you're so fun

Aw yeah, aw yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

Baby, don't you fight it

Close your eyes and swipe it

Maybe I could be with you

If you buy me diamonds

And you keep me smiling

Baby, I can be with you

[Chorus]

I want all my clothes designer (Ooh!)

I want someone else to buy 'em (Yeah!)

Give me all of your attention (Ooh!)

Give me summer in the Hamptons (Yeah!)

If I cannot get it right now (Now!)

I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want it at all

[Bridge]

Ooh-ah!

I don't want it all

Give me summer in the Hamptons

Give me summer in the Hamptons

Give me summer in the Hamptons

In the Hamptons

In the Hamptons

I want all I want

Give me all of your attention (Ooh!)

Give me summer in the Hamptons (Yeah!)

If I cannot get it right now (Now!)

I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want it at all
