“i want it all” is a song by english rock band queen, featured on their 1989 twelfth studio album the miracle. written by guitarist and backing vocalist brian may (but credited to queen) and produced by david richards, the song was released as the lead single from the album on 2 may 1989.

the song is notably heavy and features themes relating to rebellion and social upheaval. songwriter may, however, claims that it is about having ambitions and fighting for one’s own goals; because of this, the song became an anti-apartheid song in south africa and has also been used as a gay rights protest theme and a rallying anthem for african-american youth.
