what a girl wants song

"What a Girl Wants" is a song recorded by American singer Christina Aguilera for her self-titled debut album (1999) ). The song was written by Shelly Peiken and Guy Roche and was completed and pitched to RCA Records executive Ron Fair as "What a Girl Needs"; it was renamed "What a Girl Wants" and given to Aguilera). The song is a teen pop-R&B track with some similarities to her debut single "Genie in a Bottle"). The lyrics express gratitude to a boyfriend who understands how to not be an overbearing asshole. The song has two main versions: the original album version and the video mix. The first pressing of the album brought the original version, but digital versions of the album replace the original version with the video mix. The song was a commercial success, reaching number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and staying there for two weeks.
