"I Want You" is a 1976 hit song recorded by American soul singer Marvin Gaye. It was the title track from the album of the same name.

"I Want You Back" is a 1969 number-one single recorded by The Jackson 5 for the Motown label. It held the number-one position on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for one week, from January 23 to January 31, 1970, replacing "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" by B.J. Thomas, and replaced by "Venus" by The Shocking Blue.

The single was a notable first in many respects: it was the first Jackson 5 single to be released on Motown, the first of four Jackson 5 number-ones released in a row (the others are "ABC", "The Love You Save", and "I'll Be There"), and the first song written and produced by The Corporation™, a team comprising Motown chief Berry Gordy, Freddie Perren, Alphonzo Mizell, and Deke Richards. "I Want You Back" was also the first Jackson 5 song recorded in Los Angeles, California; the quintet had previously been recording Bobby Taylor-produced covers, including "Who's Lovin' You", the b-side to "I Want You Back", at Hitsville U.S.A. in Detroit, Michigan.

Originally considered first for Gladys Knight & the Pips and later for Diana Ross, as "I Wanna Be Free", "I Want You Back" explores the familiar theme of a lover who decides that he was too hasty in dropping his partner. The unusual aspect about "I Want You Back" was that its main lead vocal was performed by an eleven-year-old preteen, Michael Jackson, who sings the song with the emotional weight of an adult.

The Jackson 5 performed "I Want You Back", along with Sly & the Family Stone's "Sing a Simple Song", The Delfonics' "Can You Remember", and James Brown's "There Was a Time", during their first television appearance on The Hollywood Palace as the special guests of Diana Ross & the Supremes. Although Gladys Knight and Bobby Taylor of the Vancouvers had been the ones to bring the Jackson brothers to Motown, the Motown publicity credited Ross with discovering them, not only to help promote the Jackson 5, but also to help ease Ross' transition into a solo career, which officially began in January 1970.

"I Want You Back", backed with a cover of Smokey Robinson & the Miracles' "Who's Lovin' You", was the only single from the first Jackson 5 album, Diana Ross Presents the Jackson 5. It is today considered one of the best songs ever released on Motown, and is one of the Jackson 5's signature songs. It was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999, and ranked number 120 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. In 2006, Pitchfork Media named it the second best song of the 1960s, adding that the chorus contains "possibly the best chord progression in pop music history."200_Greatest_Songs_of_the_1960s/page_20" target="_blank">http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/feature/37901/The_200_Greatest_Songs_of_the_1960s/page_20 It consistently features in best singles of all time lists, appreciated by both fans and music critics alike.

In 1998 British girlband _Cleopatra released their cover version which also featured on their album. Cleopatra Went straight into the UK top 10 at #4 giving them their third top 5 hit. A "live" version by Graham Parker and The Rumour garnered mild success in 1979. The title of this version is sometimes shown as "I Want You Back (Alive)." Canadian female trio West End Girls covered the song as a single in 1991. Female singer-songwriter KT Tunstall often performs a cover version of the song live at her concerts, and an acoustic cover appeared on a Jonah Matranga EP. The song is one of the most sampled Motown songs, with notable uses by Kris Kross ("Jump", 1992), Tamia ("Imagination, 1998), Jay-Z ("Izzo (H.O.V.A.)", 2001), and Lil Romeo ("My Baby", 2001). The song was interpolated by BLACKstreet and Mya featuring Mase and Blinky Blink for the remix of "Take Me There" from the Rugrats Movie soundtrack. A progressive bluegrass version of "I Want You Back", featuring mandolin and guitar, was performed by United States acoustic trio Nickel Creek on their "Farewell (For Now) Tour" in 2007.

The single was re-issued in the UK in 1988 as a remix, done by Pete Waterman's PWL label, they remixed the song to include a snippet of "ABC". The single reached #8 in the UK.

"I Want You (She's So Heavy)" is a song by The Beatles, from their album Abbey Road. It was written by John Lennon, although it is credited as a Lennon/McCartney collaboration.

The song is an unusual Beatles composition for a variety of reasons, namely its length (nearly eight minutes), its disproportionately small number of lyrics (there are only fourteen different words in the song), its three-minute descension through the same repeated guitar chords (a similar arpeggiated figure appears in another of Lennon's contributions to the album, "Because"), its hard rock sound, and for its instantaneous and unanticipated end. It is also one of the last songs that the Beatles mixed as a group, on August 20, 1969.

David Gates writes of the song, "The hypnotically repeated guitar figure in 'I Want You (She's So Heavy)' is suddenly, arbitrarily cut off, jolting us into embarrassed awareness that we've let a mere recording carry us away."

The sudden end of the song was intentional and orchestrated by Lennon. In the spirit of the band, it was pushing the boundaries of what was 'allowed' on a record; full volume slashes were certainly not the norm.

"I Want You" is the second single from American R&B/pop singer Janet Jackson's eighth studio album, Damita Jo (2004). It was certified Platinum by the RIAA in 2004.

"I Want You"/"Me Pones Sexy" is the first single from the Mexican Latin pop singer Thalía's 2003 crossover studio album Thalía. The track features Fat Joe. The song is her signature song, being her first single that has had success all over the world, managing to peak at number eleven on the United World Chart, it's also one of her biggest hits in South America, where it hit number one for several weeks.

Both songs were written by Cory Rooney, Davy Deluge, Gregory Bruno, Fat Joe, Thalía, and Brenda Russell, and produced by Cory Rooney.

The song's beat is reminiscent of Big Pun's famous hit Still Not a Player. This is not surprising considering Fat Joe was a close friend and associate of the late Latino rapper. Fat Joe's verse on the track ends with a line directly from Still Not A Player's chorus, "I don't wanna be a player no more."

"I Want You" is the first single released by Australian pop group Savage Garden from their eponymous debut album Savage Garden and was released in Australia in 1996 and internationally in 1997. The single hit number one in Canada, and peaked at number four on the U.S. Hot 100 and in their home country.

Two Music Videos were released for the song, a low-budget version in Australia and a second higher-budget version for U.S. and international release.

The single was the first to be released in the UK, reaching number 11. After the success of "Truly Madly Deeply" and "To the Moon and Back" (re-release) the single would see a second release in December of 1998, this time as "I Want You '98" with the Bascombe Mix being the lead track. The single charted at number 12, one place below the original, spending 3 extra weeks in the top 40 due to the Christmas period sales. Re-release CD1 came with a lyric sheet for "To The Moon and Back" and CD2 was a cardboard sleeved edition with free poster.

"I Want You Back" is a song written and recorded by English girl group Bananarama. It is included on their fourth studio album Wow! and was released as its fourth and final single. The track was co-written and produced by the Stock Aitken Waterman (SAW) trio.

It is the first Bananarama release to feature new group member Jacquie O'Sullivan. Recorded with Siobhan Fahey for the Wow! album, "I Want You Back" was remixed and re-recorded by Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward with O'Sullivan for its release as a single.

The video featured the group in various dance sequences, go-go boys with wigs and in cages, and the girls dressed up as The Supremes.

The song became one of Bananarama's highest-charting hits, peaking at number five in the UK singles chart. It also climbed into the top three in Australia and the top ten in New Zealand. "I Want You Back" was not released in the United States.

"I Want You" was the first single from Jody Watley's third album, Affairs of the Heart. "I Want You" was considered a disappointment after her second album scored three consecutive top ten pop singles, "I Want You" failed to reach the top 50 of the pop chart, it did find success as a Top five R&B single, and top twenty dance single.

The video was featured on an episode of Beverly Hills, 90210.

"I Want You," written by Per Gessle, is a song which was recorded in mid 1987, about one month before Roxette's first tour.

The song was recorded by Roxette, Ratata and Eva Dahlgren in order to support their joint tour "Rock runt riket" and as the closing of every concert the song was performed by all of the artists.

"I Want You" is a 1966 song recorded by Bob Dylan which appeared on the album Blonde on Blonde. It was also released as a single in June and reached number twenty on the Billboard Hot 100.

It is widely thought that there are references to The Rolling Stones member Brian Jones in the line "the dancing child in his Chinese suit", with a reference to The Rolling Stones in the line "I thought time was on his side", a reference to the Stones' cover song "Time Is on My Side". This came as a result of a friendship Dylan had struck up with the founding member of The Rolling Stones in the mid-sixties.
