"You're All I Wanna Do" is a single by American rock band Cheap Trick, released as the second single from their 1994 album Woke up with a Monster. The song was written by Jim Peterik, Rick Nielsen, Robin Zander, Terry Reid and Tom Petersson.[1]
The single was released as a 3inch CD in a snap-pack design for Japan only.[2] A promotional DJ copy 5inch CD single was also released in Japan, with unique photos of each band member.[3]
The b-side "Cry Baby" was featured on the same album.[4]
Both tracks were produced by Ted Templeman who had produced the entire "Woke up with a Monster" album.[5]
Background
The single was the first single release under Warner Bros. Records, as well as being the band's first single since 1991. The single marked a change of direction, as did the same-titled album, following a "grunge" sound, due to producer Ted Templeman's much criticized heavy-handed production, and unlike several albums that preceded it, it lacked the electronic instruments and commercial sound.
Released in Japan only, the song was successful on the charts, peaking at #13 for a total of 11 weeks. The song's peak was dated April 17, 1994.[6][7]
A music video was released to promote the single.[8]

Critical reception
In the review for the album "Woke up with a Monster", allmusic.com wrote "If their power pop is a little over the top, underneath are some very good songs: "Didn't Know I Had It," "Tell Me Everything," "You're All I Wanna Do."[9]
Allmusic.com picks the track as an AMG recommended track.[10]
Rolling Stone magazine spoke of the song in a review of the album "You're All I Wanna Do" is as tidy a power-pop number as Cheap Trick have knocked off in a dog's age."[11]
