Joe recorded “I Wanna Know” in the United States, but the specific studio or city has not been reliably documented in publicly available sources. The song was written and produced by Joe Thomas and Edwin “Tony” Nicholas. It was originally intended for Joe’s 1997 album All That I Am , but was ultimately left off that project. The track later appeared on The Wood soundtrack and became the lead single from Joe’s 2000 album My Name Is Joe.
What is known
“I Wanna Know” was released by Jive Records and became one of Joe’s signature songs. Recording credits identify Earl Cohen as the recording engineer and Timmy Allen as a programmer, but they don’t provide a confirmed studio location.
Some online discussions claim the song was recorded in a particular city or studio, but those claims aren’t supported by a dependable contemporary interview, liner-note record or official production credit. The safest answer, therefore, is that the song’s exact recording location remains undocumented.
