Something for Kate took four singles from Beautiful Sharks, their second album, released in June 1999, and "Whatever You Want" was one of them. It's the sound of an Australian band stepping back from the intensity of their debut and letting in some daylight, and of a new lineup finding its feet: Paul Dempsey, Stephanie Ashworth and Clint Hyndman share the writing credit, and this was the first record with Ashworth on bass.
Brian Paulson produced, recorded and mixed it, with Matt Maddock assisting throughout, and Glenn Richards drops in as a guest on backing vocals. Dempsey has said the album circles around people and the technology they've built, a gorgeous creation liable to turn on its makers, which is what the shark in the title stands for. The album later drew an ARIA nomination for Best Adult Alternative Album.
