The story behind
I Want It All, according to DoReSol
In *I Want It All*, Alex Turner dives into a rockstar mentality, expressing the desire for every fleeting encounter with an attractive person to be prolonged. The song, with a duration of 3:04, was recorded in studios in Los Angeles and Joshua Tree, California. The production was handled by James Ford, with Ross Orton co-producing, and the final mix was done by Tchad Blake. This track is part of the Arctic Monkeys' fifth studio album, titled AM, released on September 6, 2013.
The album AM draws on a diversity of influences, ranging from psychedelic rock and blues rock to hard rock, heavy metal, desert rock, R&B, funk, and soul. A particularity of this work is that it marked the band's first foray into sounds with hip hop undertones. For the recording of AM, the Arctic Monkeys collaborated with musicians such as Josh Homme, Bill Ryder-Jones, and Pete Thomas. The album was promoted with singles such as *R U Mine?*, *Do I Wanna Know?*, *Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?*, *One for the Road*, *Arabella*, and *Snap Out of It*.
