"All I Want" was the first single off of The Offspring's 1997 album Ixnay On The Hombre. It reached #31 in the UK and #15 in Australia. The song was also featured in the video game Crazy Taxi as well as the computer game Jugular Street Luge Racing.
The song was originally written by Dexter Holland as part of a (perhaps tongue-in-cheek) Bad Religion songwriting competition at Epitaph Records, under the title Protocol. The song's lyrics had a rather complicated vocabulary like many Bad Religion songs. However, when Dexter offered to play it for Epitaph owner and Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz, the latter told him to "play it on acoustic later." Dexter felt rejected and rewrote the song's lyrics to sound more like an Offspring song.
