"Want"
Song

"Want" is the first single taken from Australian singer-songwriter Natalie Imbruglia's fourth studio album, Come To Life. The single was released on September 28, 2009,[1] two weeks prior to the release of the album in Europe and Australia. The single is available from iTunes Australia and iTunes UK.[2]

The track was written by Natalie Imbruglia, Daniel Johns (credited Kat Kourtney), Gary Clark and Chris Martin[3] and is one of three songs on the new album co-written by Martin.[1]

Overview

The song is written from Imbruglia's point of view and is aimed at a past lover. She bitterly sings that she has moved on and hopes that her ex can do the same. The line "I hope you get all that you want, cause I didn't" is repeated numerous times during the chorus. The song incorporates the lyrics from Natalie's 2007 song "Be with You" from her album Glorious: The Singles 1997-2007. The first verse of "Be with You" is sung during the middle 8 of "Want" with the last line changed from "And if you listen hard enough you'll hear" to "And if you listen carefully you'll hear the sound".

Release and promotion

The song premiered on August 10, 2009, on Russia's "Love Radio". Imbruglia held a small promo tour in Australia to support the album and single, making several television appearances and radio interviews.

Notable performances

"Want" has been performed at all of Imbruglia's concerts since the single's release. Notable live performances in 2009 include Le Concert Pour La Tolerance on 11 July, V Festival on 23 August, "Quelli che il calcio e..." on 20 September, "GMTV" on 28 September, "This Morning" on 7 October, and Italy's "X Factor" on 4 November.

Music Video

Natalie Imbruglia's Want video.

The music video for the song was filmed on August 25, 2009, by Diane Martel.[4] The "Want" video was premiered on September 10, 2009. The video shows Natalie lying on a bed topless, as well as recording herself with a camera. It also shows her walking around a room, again recording herself. Halfway through the video Natalie is seen with mascara running down her face, showing she has been crying, all the while recording herself. Towards the end of the video scenes of Natalie crying in a chair are shown between scenes of her on the bed and walking around. The video finishes with Natalie on the bed covering her breasts with one hand whilst moving the camera's view away from her face.

Reception

PopJustice called "Want" "an elegant, spooksome dreampop [...] that continues to blossom with every listen [and is] properly amazing".[5] Digital Spy gave the song another positive review, giving it 4 out of 5 stars and commented: "With its galloping horse rhythms, cascading melodies and tightly-layered production, the track itself brings to mind Kate Bush hitting the dancefloor - a somewhat unlikely image in 2009 [...] a single with a markedly more urgent sound and a video that walks a tightrope between racy and classy".[6]
