"I Don't Wanna Fight" is a popular song written by the British singer Lulu, her brother Billy Lawrie and Steve DuBerry and was first offered to singer Sade who sent it on to Tina Turner who recorded it in 1993 as part of the soundtrack for her autobiographical movie What's Love Got To Do With It. Featuring a wistful but resolute vocal set against a melodic synthesizer line, the track was a substantial hit on both sides of the Atlantic, reaching #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #7 on the UK Singles Chart. This became Tina's last Top 10 Hit in the U.S. 'I Don't Wanna Fight' was #1 in Canada for 5 weeks.
Lulu later recorded the song herself on her 2003 The Greatest Hits album.
