“I Don't Wanna Fight” by Tina Turner
From the album The Best of Absolute Music 1-2-3 (1997)
“I Don't Wanna Fight” by Tina Turner appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2023. It was first released in 1997 on the album The Best of Absolute Music 1-2-3. Its best result is #856 on The Current's 893 Essential Songs of the '90s.
"I Don't Wanna Fight" arrived in April 1993 on Virgin and Parlophone, recorded that year for the soundtrack of What's Love Got to Do with It, the film of Tina Turner's own life. Lulu wrote it with her brother Billy Lawrie and Steve DuBerry, and it went to Sade first, but Sade sent it on, and Turner made it her own: a vocal that's wistful but refuses to back down, riding a synthesizer line.
It climbed to number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 7 in the UK, held the top spot in Canada for three weeks, and turned out to be her last visit to the American top ten. It also drew two Grammy nominations, and Peter Care's video went into heavy rotation on MTV Europe that July.
