LeAnn Rimes Wiki

Whatever We Wanna is the eighth studio album by LeAnn Rimes, released June 6, 2006. The album is similar to her R&B influenced Twisted Angel but has a more rock-oriented sound. The album was released exclusively in Europe. It was originally slated to be released in the U.S., however, it was not released due to the success of her single (from This Woman), "Something's Gotta Give" (which peaked at number two on Billboard’s Top Country Songs), leading to an increase in sales of This Woman. On August 28, 2021, Rimes announced via her social media that the album would be released digitally in the US for the first time on September 10, 2021, fifteen years after the album’s original release internationally. The release would be a deluxe edition featuring all fifteen original tracks along with three remixes of songs on the album.

Singles[]

Three singles were released from the album. "And It Feels Like" was released as the lead single from the album on May 5, 2006.[1] The second single, "Strong ", was released in Germany on June 23, 2006.[2] The third and final single from the album was Rimes' duet with Brian McFadden, "Everybody's Someone", which was released on September 25, 2006.[3][4]
