"All I Want" is a song written by American singer and songwriter Olivia Rodrigo for the mockumentary television series High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. It was performed by Rodrigo's character, Nina "Nini" Salazar-Roberts, in the fourth episode of the first season, "Blocking", which premiered on Disney+ on November 29, 2019.[1][2] A ballad with piano and strings,[1][3] "All I Want" was written in three days while Rodrigo was filming the first season.[2] The song was produced by Matthew Tishler and recorded live for the episode during filming.[4] It was released on November 27, 2019, through Walt Disney Records as a promotional single from the album High School Musical: The Musical: The Series: The Soundtrack.[5]

Despite not being promoted as a radio single, "All I Want" was a minor hit;[6] it debuted on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 at number 90 in January 2020,[1] mainly due to downloads.[3] It was a trend on the social media platform TikTok[7][8] and has been certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America—this success led to a contract with Interscope Records and the release of Rodrigo's debut single, "Drivers License", in 2021.[9] "All I Want" is the most successful song from High School Musical: The Musical: The Series,[10] and has been described as Rodrigo's "breakout hit".[8]
