Background and writing

"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

The music video was directed by Paul Rachman, Rachman 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]

Compostion

In the chorus Stanley repeats "I just wanna f..." a couple of times until he finally completes the phrase "I just wanna forget you".[2]

gollark: You could entirely fix cancer through better DNA error correction, for instance, and the technology for that has been developed as part of communication/storage systems we have now (although admittedly implementing it in biology would probably be very very hard).
gollark: On the other hand, through actually having a planning process and not just blindly seeking local minima, a human can make big changes to designs even if the middle ones wouldn't be very good, which evolution can't.
gollark: And despite randomly breaking in bizarre ways, living stuff has much better self-repair than any human designs.
gollark: No human could come up with the really optimized biochemistry we use and make it work as well as evolution did, so in that way it's more "intelligent".
gollark: Intelligence is poorly defined, really.
