“Heart Wants What It Want” is the lead promotional single from Bebe Rexha‘s upcoming third TBA studio album.

“Heart Wants What It Wants” Lyrics:
Bebe Rexha:

My heart only wants what it wants, what it wants, what it wants
‘Til it doesn’t
I can’t promise you love, it was love, it was love, it was love
‘Til it wasn’t, ooh

Already met a man like you
Already seen all of your mo-o-o-oves
One step ahead, I’m on to you
I feel nothing when we’re loving
Then we’re touching, so

Go ahead, cry a river (Go ahead, cry a river)
You can go and fill the sea (You can go and fill the sea)
Don’t you know that you’re just a game to me?

My heart only wants what it wants, what it wants, what it wants
‘Til it doesn’t
I can’t promise you love, it was love, it was love, it was love
‘Til it wasn’t, ooh
So good ’til I get enough, so good ’til I give it up
So good but my heart is sold on you-ou-ou, ’cause
My heart only wants what it wants, what it wants, what it wants
‘Til it doesn’t, ooh

I’ve done it all and numb the pain
There’s just so many ways a heart can break
Can’t hold a candle in the rain
I feel loving when we’re touching
Then we’re loving, so

Go ahead, cry a river (Go ahead, cry a river)
You can go and fill the sea (You can go and fill the sea)
Don’t you know that you’re just a game to me?

My heart only wants what it wants, what it wants, what it wants
‘Til it doesn’t
I can’t promise you love, it was love, it was love, it was love
‘Til it wasn’t, ooh
So good ’til I get enough, so good ’til I give it up
So good but my heart is sold on you-ou-ou, ’cause
My heart only wants what it wants, what it wants, what it wants
‘Til it doesn’t, ooh

And it don’t want you
You (Till, till, till it doesn’t)
You
And it don’t want you (Till, till, till it doesn’t)

Till, till, till it doesn’t

Bebe debuted a sneak preview to the single at a Live pre-grammy performance.

Bebe Rexha announced the release of “Heart Wants What It Wants” on Instagram on the 9th of February, 2023: she posted the song’s cover-art picture inspired by the seventies with the caption “Eeeeeek!!!! Heart Wants What It Wants is coming February 17th!!!” A video snippet of the single’s music video (directed by Michael Haussman) was published a week later.

While being interviewed by PEOPLE on the red carpet of the 2023 Grammys, Bebe Rexha said of her new music, “It’s a blast into the ’70s. That’s why we’re doing a little bit of Farrah Fawcett.”
