==Background==
Moore recorded four of the five new songs on the album in the beginning of 2000. The ''I Wanna Be with You'' album was quickly conceived following the recording of the song of the same name and its inclusion on the ''Center Stage'' soundtrack. Scott Carter, senior director of product marketing for 550 Music said: "Instead of just releasing it on the soundtrack, we thought we'd like to do something special. We didn't feel like waiting the standard 18 months [to release another album]. With the remixes and the videos, we loaded up to bring more value to it. It happened very quickly."<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=Mandy Moore Grows Up On I Wanna Be With You |url=https://www.mtv.com/news/kuuqjm/mandy-moore-grows-up-on-i-wanna-be-with-you |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230608173237/https://www.mtv.com/news/kuuqjm/mandy-moore-grows-up-on-i-wanna-be-with-you |url-status=dead |archive-date=June 8, 2023 |access-date=2023-06-08 |website=MTV |language=en}}</ref> The new track "[[Everything My Heart Desires]]" is a cover of the 1999 single originally by [[Adam Rickitt]].<ref name=EuropeCD/> "[[Let Me Be the One (Five Star song)|Let Me Be the One]]", which was previously included on ''So Real'', is a cover of the 1985 single originally by [[Five Star]] and appears on the Japanese and Asian editions of ''I Wanna Be With You''.<ref name=JapaneseAllMusic/><ref name=MalaysiaCD/>

The album was intended to feature a more mature side to Moore. Moore explained: "I've grown as a person. Obviously, I'm a more confident person and performer, and I don't know if 'Candy' was representing me as well anymore. Maybe at that point it was. I still don't think it was where I wanted to go with my music."<ref name=":1" />

I Wanna Be with You is the reissue of American singer Mandy Moore's debut studio album, So Real (1999). It was released on May 5, 2000, through Epic Records, five months after the release of its parent album. Internationally, I Wanna Be with You was released as Moore's debut album as opposed to So Real.[2][3] The album has sold over 805,000 copies in the United States.[4] Upon its release, I Wanna Be with You garnered mixed reviews from music critics, with many deeming it an improvement over its predecessor So Real while also criticizing the album for containing previously released material.

Worldwide, the album was released in a variety of formats. All versions of the album contain five new songs but have varied track listings and content, most of which was first featured on the So Real album. The North American edition features three new remixes while other editions released worldwide omit these remixes and borrow more heavily from So Real. The release is an enhanced CD that contains the music videos for "Candy" and "Walk Me Home" alongside an electronic press kit.[5]

The first single from the album in the United States, also titled "I Wanna Be with You", was a moderate commercial success, peaking at number twenty-four on the US Billboard Hot 100 and being certified Gold.[1]

Background

[edit]

Moore recorded four of the five new songs on the album in the beginning of 2000. The I Wanna Be with You album was quickly conceived following the recording of the song of the same name and its inclusion on the Center Stage soundtrack. Scott Carter, senior director of product marketing for 550 Music said: "Instead of just releasing it on the soundtrack, we thought we'd like to do something special. We didn't feel like waiting the standard 18 months [to release another album]. With the remixes and the videos, we loaded up to bring more value to it. It happened very quickly."[6] The new track "Everything My Heart Desires" is a cover of the 1999 single originally by Adam Rickitt.[7] "Let Me Be the One", which was previously included on So Real, is a cover of the 1985 single originally by Five Star and appears on the Japanese and Asian editions of I Wanna Be With You.[8][9]

The album was intended to feature a more mature side to Moore. Moore explained: "I've grown as a person. Obviously, I'm a more confident person and performer, and I don't know if 'Candy' was representing me as well anymore. Maybe at that point it was. I still don't think it was where I wanted to go with my music."[6]

Release

[edit]

I Wanna Be with You was released in numerous editions worldwide. In North America, the album followed the release of So Real five months prior. The album was marketed as "a new version of Mandy's debut", containing five new songs, three remixes, and four songs from So Real.[5] Other editions released worldwide omit the remixes but still contain the five new songs and borrow more heavily from So Real. The European and Australian editions of the album have an alternative track list and feature eight songs from So Real.[7][10][11] The Japanese edition of the album also has an alternate track list and features all of the songs from So Real except "Love Shot".[8] A version distributed by Sony Music Asia in other Asian countries such as Taiwan and Malaysia feature the same initial track list as So Real and contain all of the songs originally featured on the album, but add the five new tracks at the end as bonus tracks.[12][9] The Australian release of I Wanna Be with You has the same cover photograph as the one featured on So Real.[11]

Singles

[edit]

In the United Kingdom and Australia, where the So Real album was not released, "Candy" was marketed as the first single from I Wanna Be with You.[13][11] The single peaked at number six on the UK Singles Chart and spent 14 weeks on the chart.[14] In Australia, the single spent 18 weeks on the ARIA charts, peaked at number two, and was certified Platinum.[15][16]

In the United States, "I Wanna Be with You" was the first single released from the album and as a single from the soundtrack to the 2000 film Center Stage on April 3, 2000.[17][18] It spent 16 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at number 24 in its ninth week on the chart.[19] In the UK, it was released as the second single from the album, spent five weeks on the chart, and peaked at number 21, becoming her second and final single to chart in the country.[14] The single was more successful in Australia, where it was released as the third single from the album in September 2000. It spent 19 weeks on the ARIA charts, peaked at number 13, and was certified Gold.[15][16]

"So Real" was released as the second single from the album in Australia (but third single overall) on June 13, 2000. It spent 11 weeks on the ARIA charts and peaked at number 21.[15]

"Walk Me Home" was first released on December 4, 1999, as the second single in the US from So Real, but did not chart. In October 2000, the song was re-released to promote I Wanna Be with You and peaked at number 38 on the Billboard Pop Airplay chart, spending two weeks on the chart.[20][21][22]

The album received generally mixed reviews from music critics. Many reviewers were critical of the album containing material from So Real, with Rickey Wright from Amazon writing that the album was released "mainly to ride the success of its title single" and Rolling Stone describing the album as "reconfigured, slightly improved reissue" of So Real.[24][26] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic called the album a "crass marketing move" and Linda Ryan of Rhapsody described the release as "ostentatious". Despite this, both Erlewine and Ryan described the album as stronger than its predecessor. Erlewine noted that the album contained "all [the] essential ingredients for a good teen pop album" and Ryan described the remixes on the album as "slick and radio-friendly".[23][25] Wright was critical of the Wade Robson remixes, calling them "inferior", and described So Real as "the better of her releases".[24]

Danny Scott from Q compared the album to works of Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears, describing it as "predictably polished and irrepressibly upbeat".[2] Sean Richardson from The Boston Phoenix wrote "Moore’s vocals are both stronger and more understated than Britney’s, but her material has far less personality."[27] James Roberts from Dotmusic described the production style on the album as being different from the works of Spears, writing "there is more to Mandy than most who heard 'Candy' would give her credit for."[3]
