"What I Always Wanted" comes from Oracle, the second album by Canada's Kittie, released on Artemis in 2001, and the songwriting credit goes to the whole band. Co-founding guitarist and singer Fallon Bowman had left, with touring guitarist Jeff Phillips brought in as the replacement, so the band recorded as a trio at EMAC Recording Studios that July and August, with Garth Richardson producing and engineering, Morgan Lander co-producing, Rob Nation also engineering and Randy Staub mixing.
The record is heavier and angrier than their 1999 debut, Spit, grabbing at death metal, thrash and nu metal all at once. It was also the only Kittie album with bassist Talena Atfield, who left four months after it came out.
