I still get a little nerdy about songwriting origin stories, and this one is a tiny favorite of mine because it mixes poetry, collaboration, and the messy way pop songs come together.
From what I’ve read and followed over the years, the chorus line that anchored the 1990s single 'All I Wanna Do' came from a poem titled 'Fun' written by Wyn Cooper. The group of collaborators around Sheryl Crow’s early album discovered the poem and adapted some of its lines as the hook. It’s interesting because it raises questions about authorship and remix culture before digital sampling made those debates mainstream. Cooper ultimately received credit once the overlap was pointed out, which is a tidy outcome compared to some other disputes.
Musically, the transformation is lovely to me: a few spare lines of verse become a buoyant chorus when given rhythm and instrumentation. If you’re curious, tracking down the poem alongside the song shows how tiny phrasing choices and repetition shape the emotional impact — poetry gives the idea, pop gives it the vehicle. That creative handshake between literary and musical worlds is why this origin keeps popping up in music-history chats I join.

I love that this question makes people look past the surface of a catchy chorus. For the very well-known 'All I Wanna Do' from the 1990s, the chorus originated from a poem called 'Fun' by Wyn Cooper — the songwriters adapted lines from that poem and Cooper later received credit.
That said, the phrase 'all I wanna do' is pretty universal and shows up in lots of songs with different choruses and stories. If you’re checking a particular version, scanning the liner notes or copyright credits (or checking BMI/ASCAP) will tell you whether the words came from a poem, another song, or were written by the performing artist. I usually follow that path when trivia nights throw this at me — it’s a fun little research rabbit hole.

I get a little giddy every time this question pops up, because it touches on that weird crossroads between poetry and pop music that I adore.
The chorus most people think of when they say 'All I Wanna Do' — the sing-along line about wanting to have fun — actually has a quirky origin: it was lifted from a poem called 'Fun' by Wyn Cooper and then woven into the song by the group of writers around Sheryl Crow's early sessions (the Tuesday Night Music Club crew). The band found Cooper's poem and adapted lines from it, and later Cooper received credit when the similarity became widely noticed. It’s one of those music-world stories where a literary fragment jumps into the pop landscape.
If you’re into digging, compare Cooper’s poem with the song lyrics and you’ll notice how a small set of evocative lines can change tone when wrapped in a melody. Also remember there are a bunch of other songs titled 'All I Wanna Do' across genres, so context matters — but for the classic 1990s hit, the poem-to-pop path is the neat origin story that stuck with me.

I’ve talked about this with friends who love trivia, and here’s the short, clear version that usually satisfies most debates: the famous chorus from Sheryl Crow’s 'All I Wanna Do' borrows lines from a poem called 'Fun' by Wyn Cooper. The band members involved in that record found the poem and used parts of it while crafting the song, and Cooper later got shared credit when the connection was pointed out.
It’s a neat example of how writers build on each other — a poem that existed quietly in a book ends up inside a radio hit. Also worth noting: many songs share that title and the casual chorus sentiment, so if someone asks about a different 'All I Wanna Do' (by another artist), you might get a totally different origin story. For the 1990s pop hit though, the poem link is the one everyone references.

Omega Wanna Be Luna
I'm one of the rare Omega healers in our pack. My soul essence can fix pretty much anything.
Alpha Damian promised me: "Give me your soul essence to keep Isolde's soul steady, and I'll mark you. You'll be my mate, my one and only Luna."
However, he drained my soul essence for three solid years, all for Isolde, his childhood sweetheart who pretend to have this soul-fading sickness.
Until I got pregnant. And the pack's High Priestess told me my soul flame was about to go out.
To save my baby, I secretly cut off the essence supply. Damian found it out.
He slammed me against a rock wall. "How dare you to pregnant?! Your soul essence is for Isolde! That’s the only reason you’re even here!"
When Isolde found out I was carrying the Alpha's pup, her "sickness" got way worse. She even faked falling into an icy river, making it look like her soul was about to shatter.
Damian even dragged my ten-year-old brother, Liam, to the Moon Goddess altar, trying to suck out what little soul essence he had.
Just because Liam's soul essence was like mine, but purer.
And when I wanted to get rid of the baby to save myself, he locked me in a deep cave in the wolf keep, ordered the High Priestess:
"Keep her soul stable. Cut the puppy out. I want her to watch everything she cares about turn to dust."
My soul stone was smashed to pieces.
When I woke up again, I was back on the day the High Priestess told me I had a pup in my belly.

" I want to abort this child."
" This time, I won't let Damien bully me anymore."

Where Can I Find All I Wanna Do Lyrics With Chords?
2 Answers2025-08-27 21:04:16
If you're hunting for chords and lyrics to 'All I Wanna Do', I usually start at Ultimate Guitar because it's like a living library — different users post versions, people vote, and you can quickly spot the most reliable transcriptions. I also check Chordie and E-Chords for alternate arrangements; they sometimes show capo placement and transposition tools that are really handy when a singer's range is off.
I tend to cross-check with YouTube playthroughs that show on-screen chords or a close-up of the fretboard, because seeing someone actually play it helps me catch little rhythm things that tabs miss. For official accuracy, Musicnotes or Hal Leonard often have licensed sheet music or simplified versions you can buy, which is worth it if you want a clean, printable chart. Lastly, if I can’t find the exact artist's version, I’ll throw the artist name into the search (for example, 'All I Wanna Do Sheryl Crow chords') and compare a few sources — the right capo and a quick ear check usually seals it for me.

How Do All I Wanna Do Lyrics Differ Between Versions?
4 Answers2025-08-27 07:46:21
I get oddly obsessed with little lyrical tweaks, so this is the one I notice first: when you compare different takes of 'All I Wanna Do' you’re mostly hearing editorial choices rather than a completely new lyric sheet.
On studio album versions the lyrics tend to be fuller and include little contextual lines — spoken bits, longer intros, or extra bridge lines — that sometimes get trimmed for the single or radio edit. Radio edits usually shave an instrumental intro, shorten repeated choruses, and occasionally mute or swap words that might be considered risqué or too niche for mass play. Live versions, though, are where the song breathes: singers often improvise a line, repeat a favourite line for crowd response, or change pronouns and references to make a moment feel personal. Covers will push this further — some artists keep the hook but rewrite verses to fit their persona, or translate the sentiment into another language, which changes nuance more than meaning.
So if you’re lining up different tracks of 'All I Wanna Do', listen for missing lines, swapped words in the chorus, added ad-libs, and the overall length — those are the telltale signs that the lyrics differ, even when the core message stays the same.
Who Originally Wrote All I Wanna Do Lyrics For The Song?
4 Answers2025-08-27 02:02:08
I get asked this all the time when people hear the chorus, so here’s the scoop I always tell friends at listening parties.
If you mean the big 1994 hit 'All I Wanna Do' by Sheryl Crow, the most memorable lines actually came from a poem called 'Fun' by Wyn Cooper — that poem supplies the chorus lyric “all I wanna do is have some fun.” Sheryl Crow and her collaborators from the 'Tuesday Night Music Club' sessions turned that poem into the pop song we know, so the recorded track credits Crow and her co-writers for the song, while Wyn Cooper is recognized because his poem provided the hook.
Now, if you meant a different track titled 'All I Wanna Do' (there are lots of songs with that title across genres), the original lyricist will be whoever is credited on that specific recording. For anything official I usually double-check the album liner notes or databases like ASCAP/BMI or AllMusic — they’re lifesavers when credits get messy. If you want, tell me which artist’s version you heard and I’ll dig into the exact credits.
What Are The Top Covers Of All I Wanna Do Lyrics On Spotify?
5 Answers2025-08-27 04:58:14
I get asked this kind of thing a lot when friends want the best cover to play at a low-key gathering, so here’s how I’d tackle it and what you’ll usually find. First, Spotify doesn’t publish an official "top covers" list for a specific song title, so the quickest method is to search the song name (e.g., "all i wanna do cover") and then switch the search results to Tracks. Spotify sorts by popularity, so the top tracks that show up are usually the most-played covers.
What you'll usually see in the top spots are a mix: acoustic bedroom covers with intimate vocals, polished studio covers from smaller independent acts, a handful of live versions from radio sessions, and sometimes remixes if the original has a dance angle. Also keep an eye out for well-known cover channels or artists who do many covers — they often rack up big play counts. If you tell me which original artist you mean (there are a few songs with that title), I can give more targeted tips or a short list of likely covers to check out.
Who Holds The Copyright For All I Wanna Do Lyrics Today?
5 Answers2025-08-27 19:40:10
I get asked this kind of thing a lot when I’m messing around with playlists or trying to post lyrics on a blog. With a title like 'All I Wanna Do', the tricky part is that there are several songs with that name, and copyright can be split between the people who wrote the lyrics/composition and the people who own the recording (the master).
If you want to know who holds the copyright for the lyrics specifically, start by looking up the songwriters and their publishers. The lyric copyright is part of the musical composition copyright and is usually controlled by the publisher(s). Useful places I check are the ASCAP and BMI repertoires, PRS if it’s UK-related, and the U.S. Copyright Office’s online catalog. If a publisher’s name pops up, that’s who you contact for lyric permissions. Also remember transfers happen: publishing rights can be sold or administered by another company, so always verify 'today' rather than assuming old credits still apply. I usually jot down the publisher name and contact their licensing department if I need permission to repost lyrics.
Are There Official All I Wanna Do Lyrics Sheets Available Online?
4 Answers2025-08-27 17:13:24
I’m the kind of person who hoards liner notes from CDs and gushes when artists post lyric posts, so I dug into this for you: yes, there are official lyric sources for 'All I Wanna Do', but what counts as “official” matters a lot. If you want the exact printed lyric sheet that accompanies an official release, check the artist’s official website or the digital booklet that sometimes comes with purchases on iTunes/Apple Music. Physical CD or vinyl inserts often have the authoritative text too.
For something you can print and sing from, your best bet is licensed sheet music vendors — places like Musicnotes, Hal Leonard, or Sheet Music Plus sell vocal/piano arrangements that include the official lyrics and are cleared for distribution. Streaming services like Spotify (with Musixmatch) and Apple Music also display licensed lyrics in-app, which is an easy way to confirm the official wording. Be cautious of random lyric sites: many reproduce lyrics without permission and can contain errors.
If you need the lyrics for anything beyond casual singing (public performance, publication, video captions), you’ll want to contact the music publisher or secure a license through services like LyricFind or the publisher listed in BMI/ASCAP databases. Personally, I prefer buying the official sheet when I plan to perform — it’s respectful and saves a lot of guesswork.
Which Decade Made All I Wanna Do Lyrics A Radio Hit?
4 Answers2025-08-27 14:08:28
The decade that turned 'All I Wanna Do' into a radio staple was the 1990s.
I still get this little flash of summer afternoons whenever that chorus sneaks into my head — it’s Sheryl Crow's track from her early-'90s breakthrough. The single was released around 1994 and rode a tidal wave of airplay across pop and adult-contemporary stations. I used to hear it on every drive, at parties, and on MTV between videos, which is how you knew a song had officially arrived back then.
It’s funny how a single song can lock a whole era into place for me; that jangly guitar, the laid-back cadence, and the kind of storytelling lyric that radio loved in the mid-'90s. If you’re digging into playlists or chart history, look at the mid-1990s and you’ll find this one everywhere.
