"If You Wanna" was the third single off What Did You Expect from The Vaccines?, the debut album from the English indie rockers, following "Post Break-Up Sex" out in March 2011. Dan Grech-Marguerat produced it and Michael Brauer mixed it; Justin Hayward-Young sings, Arni Arnason plays bass and Pete Robertson drums, and Freddie Cowan joins those three on the writing credit. It's post-punk revival with the brakes off.

It entered the UK chart at number fifty-three, then took its time, finally peaking at thirty-five in April 2012. The video, posted to YouTube in February 2011, has since passed 10 million views, more than any other clip the band has put up there.
