"All I Want to Do" is a song by American rock band the Beach Boys from their 1969 album 20/20. It was written by Dennis Wilson and Stephen Kalinich, and released as the B-side to "I Can Hear Music".

Recording

An earlier version of "All I Want to Do" was produced on October 16, 1968, at Bell Sound in New York. The backing track was redone at Valentine Studio on November 9. At another session, held three days later, Dennis recorded himself at Capitol Studios having sex with a woman, whose throes of passion were incorporated into the track as background sound effects.

Multiple alternate versions, including two alternate takes with Dennis on lead vocals, were released in 2018 on I Can Hear Music: The 20/20 Sessions.
