Whenever We Wanted is the eleventh studio album by American singer-songwriter and musician John Mellencamp, and the first of his to be credited simply to Mellencamp's given name. The album reached the top 20 and went platinum. It includes the hits "Get A Leg Up", "Now More Than Ever", "Last Chance", and "Again Tonight". "Get A Leg Up" and "Again Tonight" also cracked the Billboard Hot 100. Entertainment Weekly gave the album a positive review, stating: "To Mellencamp's credit, even though 'Whenever We Wanted' delivers his signature rock & roll punch, he doesn't try to. That Mellencamp still has the courage to make depressing assessments in a pop context is a victory that outweighs the record's other shortcomings." Mellencamp later said the album was an attempt to "write American Fool with better lyrics" after a fan mentioned the previous two albums "had nothing about sex on them." This inspired him to write less about problems in the heartland and "get back to the basics."
