"All I Ever Wanted" is a song by Swedish musician Basshunter. It is similar to his previous single "Now You're Gone" in that it is an English remake using music based on a previous Basshunter track, without any lyrical connection. The melody for "All I Ever Wanted" is largely a remixed version of "Daddy DJ", as is Basshunter's earlier song "Vi sitter i Ventrilo och spelar DotA".[1]
"All I Ever Wanted" uses the melody from the song "Daddy DJ", created by the French dance act of the same name.
"All I Ever Wanted" is a beat-driven, heavily-vocodered track.[2]
The video clip was recorded in Fuengirola, Málaga, Spain, featuring Aylar Lie and Lucas Thorheim.
On 6 July 2008, the song entered the UK Singles Chart at number three, climbing to number two the following week. It had a long and successful chart run in the UK and a year and a half after its release it re-entered the UK top 100 at number 98 due to Basshunter being a contestant on Celebrity Big Brother 7 and it often being played on the spin-off shows Big Brother's Big Mouth and Big Brother's Little Brother.
In New Zealand, the song debuted at number 27 and peaked at number seventeen. It was certified gold after 18 weeks, selling over 7,500 copies.[3]
