Shot in Los Angeles, the video is a satirical examination of the &#8220;<em>social media age<\/em>&#8221; experience and the surface-level interactions facilitated by it. Following the protagonist, a sculpted, buff bodybuilder played by Brad Swanick, on his quest for perfection, it shows his lonely journey paved by narcissism and self-obsession as he attempts to forge relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Boys Noize explains,\u00a0<em>\u201cWhen I thought about a video for this song, the idea about reversing the lyrics \u2018all I want is you\u2019\u00a0was the first thought. People obsess so much about their body, their look, their social profiles, their \u201clikes\u201d, and it becomes more important than everything else. I was a fan of Dan Streit\u2019s previous work and focus on unique fringe characters, so I contacted him and presented him the idea for this video, he loved it and took it to the next level. \u201cI love myself, look at me, look at my photos, look, people actually like me!\u201d<\/em><br><br><em>All I Want <\/em>started its life as a basic demo made by Boys Noize and Jake Shears years ago for Alex (aka Boys Noize) to play at one of Jake\u2019s infamous NYC apartment parties. The track had since remained a hidden gem on a broken hard drive until years later when Alex rediscovered the track and decided to give it new life for 2021. Taking inspiration from classic Chicago house as he re-worked the demo for new ears, this dancefloor-ready cut is exquisitely executed, as Boys Noize\u2019s signature futuristic flare and Jake\u2019s distinctive glowy vocal make a sublime pairing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5A249189-5232-4120-A946-5CBE192715A8.jpeg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5A249189-5232-4120-A946-5CBE192715A8.jpeg?resize=1024%2C1024\" alt=\"Boys Noize All I Want cover artwork\" class=\"wp-image-36862\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5A249189-5232-4120-A946-5CBE192715A8.jpeg?resize=1024%2C1024 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5A249189-5232-4120-A946-5CBE192715A8.jpeg?resize=300%2C300 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5A249189-5232-4120-A946-5CBE192715A8.jpeg?resize=150%2C150 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5A249189-5232-4120-A946-5CBE192715A8.jpeg?resize=768%2C768 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5A249189-5232-4120-A946-5CBE192715A8.jpeg?w=1200 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>All I Want is out via Defected Records now:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/goldatl.us2.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=1629568b93b4cdd8b1bce89f0&amp;id=9a54821e4c&amp;e=964e5dc542\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/defect.click\/DFTD622D<\/a>.
