"All I Want" is a song written by American singer and songwriter Olivia Rodrigo for the mockumentary television series High School Musical: The Musical: The Series . It was performed by Rodrigo's character, Nina "Nini" Salazar-Roberts, in the fourth episode of the first season, "Blocking", which premiered on Disney+ on November 29, 2019. [1] [2] A ballad with piano and strings, [1] [3] "All I Want" was written in three days while Rodrigo was filming the first season. [2] The song was produced by Matthew Tishler and recorded live for the episode during filming. [4] It was released on November 27, 2019, through Walt Disney Records as a promotional single from the album High School Musical: The Musical: The Series: The Soundtrack . [5]
Despite not being promoted as a radio single, "All I Want" was a minor hit; [6] it debuted on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 at number 90 in January 2020, [1] mainly due to downloads. [3] It was a trend on the social media platform TikTok [7] [8] and has been certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America—this success led to a contract with Interscope Records and the release of Rodrigo's debut single, "Drivers License", in 2021. [9] "All I Want" is the most successful song from High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, [10] and has been described as Rodrigo's "breakout hit". [8]
It's basically about Nini and, kind of, her boy troubles. She just found out that E.J. really betrayed her and did something really untrustworthy, so she's just grappling with that, and also looking back on her relationship with Ricky. I think it's a very relatable concept, at least for me.
— Olivia Rodrigo, on the song. [11]
"All I Want" is a pop ballad [6] featuring piano and string instruments. [3] The song's arrangement was described as "traditional, [1970s], singer-songwriter style, with a sprinkle of showtune sparkle". [3] In an episode of Verified by Genius, Rodrigo explained that the line "Is it something wrong with me?" came from a conversation with her mother about relationships. [12] According to sheet music published by Hal Leonard LLC, "All I Want" is a moderately slow composition in E-flat major–later modulating to F major–with a mixed meter of alternating 3
4 and 4
