"Wannagirl" is a 1993 hit song by Jeremy Jordan. The song had originally been recorded by Trey Lorenz. Also known as "Wanna Girl," Lorenz' rendition had been released in 1992[3] as a B-side on the European versions of his single, "Someone to Hold."
Jeremy Jordan cover
"Wannagirl" was covered by Jeremy Jordan and released in the spring of 1993. It was the follow-up single from his debut album Try My Love on Giant Records.[4] It was co-written by Keith Thomas[2], who produced both versions.
Jordan's version of "Wannagirl" became an international hit, peaking in the US at #28 on the Billboard Hot 100[5] and #25 on Cash Box.[6]
Background harmonies were retained from the original recording, but vocals were added by Audrey Wheeler, Chris Rodriguez, Cindy Mizelle and Emanuel Officer as well as some from Lorenz. Both versions are almost identical from a production standpoint, but the newer version features an extra breakdown and a different vocal arrangement starting at the 3:15 mark.
A music video was released to promote the song.
