I once had to clear a handful of lyrics for a small indie zine, so this question is very familiar. For the lyrics of 'All I Wanna Do', you’re really after the publisher that represents the songwriters today. That’s the entity that issues print or reproduction licenses for lyrics.

I usually begin with PRO databases (ASCAP/BMI/SESAC) because they list songwriters and publishers, then confirm via the U.S. Copyright Office or the publisher’s website. If the song has multiple writers, there may be several publishers listed and you might need permission from each or their administrator. If you can’t find clear info, contact the artist’s label or management for direction. It’s a little extra legwork, but it saves headaches later if you’re publishing or printing the lyrics.

Sometimes I feel like a detective flipping through liner notes and database entries. The basic rule I follow: lyrics are part of the composition copyright, and that right is held by the songwriter(s) and their publisher(s). If you're trying to quote or reproduce the lyrics of 'All I Wanna Do' anywhere publicly, you need permission from the publisher(s) that control the composition.

Concrete steps I take: search ASCAP, BMI, SESAC or PRS repertoires with the song title and artist; then check the U.S. Copyright Office Public Catalog for registration details and dates; consult Discogs, AllMusic, or the physical album credits for publisher names; and finally, contact the publisher’s licensing contact or use a licensing agent if the publisher lists an administrator. Also keep in mind co-publishing splits and admin deals—sometimes one company 'owns' administration while another has the copyright. If this is for a commercial project, I recommend getting a written license; for casual quoting, fair use can be murky, so ask before you post.

When I dig into questions like this, I treat it like a mini investigation. First off, decide which 'All I Wanna Do' you mean—artist and year matter a lot. Lyrics are governed by the composition copyright, so you want the publisher(s) who represent the songwriters, not necessarily the record label that owns the master recording.

My go-to checklist: search ASCAP, BMI, or SESAC repertoires for songwriter/publisher listings; check the U.S. Copyright Office public catalog for registrations; scan album liner notes, AllMusic, or Discogs for publishing credits; and finally verify via the publisher’s website or a licensing service like Harry Fox (now offline in places, but look for Songfile or MusicReports). If the song is older, rights might be split or re-assigned, so keep an eye out for administration credits (e.g., “admin by…”). If you’re preparing to publish lyrics, I’d contact the listed publisher for a sync or print license and avoid relying on lyric sites that may not be licensed.

I’ve had to clear lyrics before, so my short take: the copyright for lyrics of 'All I Wanna Do' belongs to whoever owns the song’s composition rights — typically the songwriter(s) and their publishing company. That’s different from the record label, which usually owns the master recording.

To find the current owner, check PRO databases like ASCAP/BMI/SESAC or PRS, the U.S. Copyright Office catalog, and publisher credits on album notes or sites like Discogs. Rights can move around, so verify current publishing administration before using the lyrics.

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.

Not Today, Alphas!

When I was young, I saved a fae—charming and extremely handsome. In return, he offered me one wish, and I, lost in romantic fantasies, asked for the strongest wolves to be obsessed with me. It sounded dreamy—until it wasn’t. Obsession, I learned, is a storm disguised as a dream. First up, my stepbrother—his obsession turned him into a tormentor. Life became unbearable, and I had to escape before a mating ceremony that felt more like a nightmare than a love story. But freedom was short-lived. The next wolf found me, nearly made me his dinner, and kidnapped me away to his kingdom, proclaiming I would be his Luna. He wasn’t as terrifying, but when he announced our wedding plans (against my will, obviously), his best friend appeared as competitor number three. “Great! Just what I needed,” I thought. This third wolf was sweet, gentle, and truly cared—but, alas, he wasn’t my type. Desperate, I tracked down the fae. “Please, undo my wish! I want out of this romantic disaster!” My heart raced; I really needed him to understand me. He just smiled and shrugged his shoulders. “Sorry, you’re on your own. But I can help you pick the best one out of them!” How do I fix this mess? Facing three intense wolves: “Marry me, I’ll kill anyone who bothers you!” the first declared fiercely. “No, marry me! I’ll make you the happiest ever,” the second pleaded. “I’ll destroy every kingdom you walk into. You’re mine!” the third growled, eyes blazed. “Seriously, what have I gotten myself into?” A long sigh escaped my lips. Caught between a curse and a hard place, I really just wanted peace and quiet…but which one do I choose?

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.

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.

Where Did The Chorus Of All I Wanna Do Lyrics Originate?

4 Answers2025-08-27 16:34:48

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.

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.

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.
