"James Dean (I Wanna Know)" is a song by British singer Daniel Bedingfield. It was released in August 2002 as the second single from his debut studio album, Gotta Get Thru This. Like his debut single "Gotta Get Thru This", "James Dean" was also a hit, reaching number four on the UK Singles Chart, making it his second top-10 hit. It entered the top 20 in Australia, peaking at number 19. The song name checks Freddie Mercury, Brad Pitt, Sly Stone and Daddy Warbucks.
Dom Passantino of Stylus Magazine described the song as "one final attempt at bedroom bounce-pop weirdness."[1] Tom Ewing of Freaky Trigger found the song's electro to be harsher than on previous efforts.[2]
