"All I Want" is a song recorded by the German musician known under the pseudonym of Captain Hollywood Project, released in May 1993, by labels Blow Up and Intercord, as the third single from his debut album, Love Is Not Sex (1993). The song features vocals by Petra Spiegl and was co-written by Nosie Katzmann and Tony Dawson-Harrison (a.k.a. Captain Hollywood). It was a hit in several countries, but achieved a minor success in comparison with the project's two previous singles, "More and More" and "Only with You". "All I Want" peaked at number two in Portugal and on the RPM Dance/Urban chart in Canada, and number 22 on the Eurochart Hot 100.

Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard magazine wrote that the act that had scored big with "More & More" "offers an equally sparkling gem from its noteworthy Love Is Not Sex set. Track travels down a slower, more R&B-flavored path, matching deep-voiced male rapping with sultry female belting at the chorus." [1] Wendi Cermak from The Network Forty described it as "yet another pop-influenced trance/ambient [...] number from Captain Hollywood. The vocals are very catchy and fit nicely over the hypnotic synth lines." [2] Charles Aaron from Spin complimented the Eddie "Flashin'" Fowlke's "Club Dub" as "state-of-the-art progressive house—almost subliminal organ, stringent percussion whacks, melody via synth hunt-and-peck, lyrics stripped to a simple mantra. Room to breathe or sweat it out. The female vocals are either determined or resigned---I can't decide—which gives the groove its cryptic allure." [3]

Chart performance

"All I Want" went on to become a hit in several European countries and North America, although it didn't reach the same level of success as the project's two first singles, "More and More" and "Only with You. It peaked at number two in Portugal in July 1993, [4] as one of its best chart position, being held off the top spot by Dire Strait's Encores . Additionally, the single entered the top 30 in Austria (25), Germany (22) and the Netherlands (28), and was a top-40 hit in Belgium (Flanders) (32) and France (31). It didn't chart on the UK Singles Chart, but peaked at number 51 on the Music Week Dance Singles chart. [5] "All I Want" debuted on the Eurochart Hot 100 at number 88 on 26 June 1993, [6] after charting in Austria, Belgium and Germany. It peaked on the chart four weeks later, at number 22, [7] while reaching number eleven on the European Dance Radio Chart. [8] Outside Europe, the single reached number two on the RPM Dance/Urban chart in Canada.
