The song was released in January 2000 as an airplay-only single in the United States, where it reached number 35 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number five on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. Internationally, "I Don't Wanna" was released as a double A-side single with "Come Back in One Piece".


Release


"I Don't Wanna" was released as the fourth single from Next Friday by Blackground Records and Priority Records. It was serviced to rhythmic contemporary and urban contemporary radio stations in the United States in January 2000.[1][2] The song was later released as a double A-side single with "Come Back in One Piece" as the second single from Romeo Must Die by Virgin Records.[3]

In August 2021, it was reported that Aaliyah's recorded work for Blackground (since rebranded as Blackground Records 2.0) would be re-released on physical, digital, and, for the first time, streaming services in a deal between the label and Empire Distribution.[4][5][6][7][8][9] Romeo Must Die: The Album, including "I Don't Wanna", was re-released on September 3.


Critical reception


Damien Scott from Complex felt that the song could've blended in well on Aaliyah's second studio album One in a Million (1996). According to Scott, "I Don't Wanna" was "a sullen record that would have fit perfectly on One in a Million, thanks to its somber keys, halted delivery, and abrasive honesty." He also felt that it made for a perfect song for someone going through a break-up.[10] Quentin B. Huff from PopMatters praised the song, saying it showcases "an ode to rekindling love, often in a near-double time delivery", while comparing it to Usher's "Confessions Part II" (2004) and Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together" (2005).[11]


Live performances


To promote Romeo Must Die, Aaliyah performed "I Don't Wanna" on the April 26, 2000 episode of Total Request Live.[12]

[it] I Don't Wanna

I Don't Wanna è un brano R&B della cantante statunitense Aaliyah prodotto da Donnie Scantz e Kevin Hicks e scritto dai due insieme a Johntá Austin e Jazze Pha. Il pezzo è apparso per la prima volta sulla colonna sonora del film Next Friday alla fine del 1999, per poi essere inserito anche nella track-listing della colonna sonora di Romeo deve morire. Il brano è stato pubblicato come singolo per promuovere entrambi i dischi, e senza l'aiuto di un videoclip e di una forte promozione, è arrivato al numero 5 della Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks ed è entrato nella top40 della Billboard Hot 100.
