There's More Where That Came From

Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You) was originally titled Come On Over (All I Want Is You), written by Paul Rein and Johan Aberg, appearing on Christina’s self-titled debut album. The original song was said to be unsuitable for radio, and was instead remixed for a radio release. The original writers were given a chance to remix the song but Christina and her mentor Ron Fair were not impressed with their efforts. Instead they turned to the production team Celebrity Status.

The song’s title was renamed Come On Over Baby ( All I Want Is You) having a more pop, hip-hop influence. New more sexually suggestive lyrics were added in along with a rap from Christina and bridge(which the original never had.) At this time, Christina was also given more creative control to toy with her image in the music video, where she added streaks of red and blue in her hair and wore more revealing outfits.

The rap initially caused Radio Disney to ban the song, which it had previously done to Christina’s breakout hit “Genie In A Bottle”. The original album version was allowed play though. Eventually an edited version of the song was released to Radio Disney with some removed lyrics and no rap.

This became Aguilera’s third number-one hit. It spent four-weeks at Number One in late 2000, replacing Madonna’s “Music”. The video became a huge hit as well with it being a huge #1 hit on TRL, and getting strong airplay on other music channels. The single would go on to be certified gold.
