"What I Want" is a song written and recorded by English New Wave/Dance band Dead or Alive. It was co-produced by the band and Zeus B. Held and released as the second single from Dead or Alive's album Sophisticated Boom Boom.
The song was not a success when released, peaking at number eighty-eight in the UK Singles Chart. After Dead or Alive's UK top-forty success of "That's the Way (I Like It)", "What I Want" was re-issued in 1984. It did not fare much better during its second chart run, placing only one position higher, at number eighty-seven.
