"I Didn't Want to Need You" is a song recorded by American rock band Heart in 1990.
It was composed by veteran songwriter Diane Warren and released as the second single from the band's tenth studio album Brigade. Warren, one of the most successful pop music songwriters of the 1980s and 1990s, also penned Heart's 1987 U.S. top-ten single "Who Will You Run To".
"I Didn't Want to Need You" is a midtempo rock song with a dramatic chorus and lyrics in which singer Ann Wilson laments her lack of resistance to fall in love with someone.
The single peaked at number twenty-three on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and hit number forty-seven in the UK Singles Chart.
