«Want» is the first single taken from Australian singer-songwriter Natalie Imbruglia’s upcoming fourth studio album, Come To Life. The single was released on September 28, 2009, two weeks prior to the release of the album in Europe and Australia. The single is available from iTunes Australia and iTunes UK.
The track was written by Natalie Imbruglia, Daniel Johns (credited Kat Kourtney), Gary Clark and Chris Martin and is one of three songs on the new album co-written by Martin.

The song is written from Natalie’s point of view and is aimed at her past lover. She bitterly sings that she has moved on and hopes that her ex can do the same. The line I hope you get all that you want, cause I didn’t is repeated numerous times during the chorus. The song incorporates the lyrics from Natalie’s 2007 song «Be with You» from her album Glorious: The Singles 1997-2007. The first verse of «Be with You» is sung during the middle 8 of «Want» with the last line changed from And if you listen hard enough you’ll hear to And if you listen carefully you’ll hear the sound.
