Misc = "Whatever You Want" is a hit single by rock and soul singer Tina Turner. The song is noted for its different levels of energy and strong vocal performance, its orchestral arrangement and complex production, courtesy of producer Trevor Horn. The single's highest charting was in Spain at #2.

The 2 part CD single included an alternate mix of the track, an extended six minute version and also a mix of Turner's cover version of Massive Attack's "Unfinished Sympathy", the Extended Olympic Mix. The promo 12" singles included club mixes of "Whatever You Want" by renowned remix producers Todd Terry and Arthur Baker. One of the Todd Terry mixes, Tee's Frozen Sum Mix, was later included on one of the European "Missing You" CD singles.

The music video was directed by Stéphane Sednaoui and it features Tina Turner with futuristic special effects surrounding her. The special effects become more vigorous as the song progresses.

Despite being released as the lead single to Tina's 1996 "Wildest Dreams" album and becoming a Top 20 hit in most parts of Europe, and also the opening number on her 1996/1997 "Wildest Dreams Tour" the track was surprisingly omitted from Turner's 2004 greatest hits package "All the Best" - this while the compilation featured four other tracks from the "Wildest Dreams" album.

"Whatever You Want" should not be confused with the 1999 recording "Whatever You Need" from the album "Twenty Four Seven".
