All I Wanna Do (The Beach Boys song)

"All I Wanna Do" is a song by the American rock band the Beach Boys from their 1970 album Sunflower. Written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love, its production involved extensive overdubbing, reverb and delay effects. It was influential to the development of lo-fi music and pioneered sounds that became associated with the shoegaze, dream pop, and chillwave music genres.

Initially recorded for the albums Friends (1968) and 20/20 (1969), Carl Wilson produced the final Sunflower version, likely with assistance from Brian. The arrangement features multiple vocal parts sung in counterpoint, 12-string guitar, Rocksichord, electric sitar, and a Moog synthesizer played by band engineer Stephen Desper. Love's lead vocal is accompanied by harmonies sung by all members of the band.

Brian later said that he felt the final recording was "a boring song" that diverged from his intended vision, although he subsequently called it “a real nice one”. The band never performed it in concert, although Love's touring edition of the group did, in 2015. In 2018, an earlier version of the track was released on the compilation I Can Hear Music: The 20/20 Sessions. In 2021, isolated vocals and backing track versions were released on Feel Flows.
