"What I Want" is a song recorded by American rock band Daughtry for their self titled debut album (2007). It was released to rock radio in the United States on April 23, 2007 as the second US rock single and third overall single from the album.^[1] The song features Guns N' Roses lead guitarist Slash on guitar, earning him his first featured artist credit on a song.

The band opted to release the track to rock radio only, because their second single, "Home", was not being played on rock stations due to its lighter sound. Since the band had had success on the format with their first single, "It's Not Over", they wanted to follow the song up, so they opted to release "What I Want". Since this was not a full single release, a music video for the song was not made.

"What I Want" is also featured as one of the songs on the Guitar Hero: On Tour game for the Nintendo DS.
