1990 music Dannii Minogue - All I Wanna Do
"All I Wanna Do" is a dance-pop song written by Brian Higgins, Stuart McLennan, Tim Powell and Matt Gray for Dannii Minogue's third studio album Girl (1997). The song was produced by Higgins and Gray.
It was released as the first single from Girl in the third quarter of 1997 and reached the top five in the United Kingdom becoming her first Top Five hit. In Australia the song peaked at number eleven, spent twenty-two weeks in the top 100 and was certified gold. It also became the seventy-eighth highest selling single of 1997 there. All I Wanna Do was the first in 13 consecutive Dance Chart number ones for Minogue, stretching between 1997-2015 with "Summer of Love".
"All I Wanna Do" marked a significant change in Minogue's career and image, as did her album Girl from which it was taken. Her image had become highly sexualised, culminating in her nude calendar photo shoot and the suggestive videos and album artwork which accompanied her new releases.
This was also the first release on Minogue's new record deal with Warner Bros. Records. The multimillion-dollar deal initially looked set to launch her career worldwide, especially with the success of "All I Wanna Do". The success of the first single would not be felt by the album Girl.
In 2017, the Official Charts Company revealed that "All I Wanna Do" was Minogue's best selling UK single.
All I Wanna Do" features a music video directed by Paul Morgans and was filmed in a studio using green screen technology in 1997. The video marked a significant change in style for Minogue, cultivating a more sexual image of the artist. The video references webcam voyeurism and features Minogue against a Barbie-esque backdrop sensually dancing and engaging with the camera and stroking a white cat. In other scenes, Minogue is riding a Ducati motorcycle and playing a guitar. The video can be seen as a turning point for Minogue, after which she adopted a more sexual and confident persona in her music videos.
The video for "All I Wanna Do" was included on the Australian video collection The Videos in 1998 and the special edition of her greatest hits CD/DVD release The Hits & Beyond in 2006, as well as featuring on her more recent videography retrospective DVD, Dannii Minogue: The Video Collection.
