''All I Ever Wanted'' is the fourth studio album by American pop singer Kelly Clarkson, released on March 6, 2009, by RCA Records.

In order to do so, she enlisted her previous collaborators Max Martin, Dr. Luke, (whom she worked with on her 2004 second album, '' Breakaway''), Sam Watters and Louis Biancaniello (whom she worked with on her 2003 debut album '' Thankful''), and new collaborators, Ryan Tedder, Howard Benson and Dre & Vidal.

Clarkson decided to add heavier guitars and harder drums to the song after noticing that the demo had an obvious pop sound. Lyrically, the song is written from a woman's point of view where she expresses her sense of relief with the end of her troubled relations ...
