"I Just Can't Wait" is the debut single by English singer Mandy Smith, produced by Stock Aitken Waterman, and was the first release by Pete Waterman's new label, PWL, in January 1987.
Despite intense publicity in the wake of Smith's relationship with Bill Wyman, the song charted poorly in the UK — a result the producers blamed on the hostility of the British media.[1] But it proved a substantial hit in a number of European counties.
While the song missed the top 40 in her home country, the track's Balearic beat version, the "Cool and Breezy Jazz Mix", was critically well received, and has been called "one of the coolest records SAW ever made".[1]
Smash Hits Australia slated the song as "awful [and] mildly suggestive", though songwriter Mike Stock denied that the title was a reference to the scandal surrounding Smith's underage relationship with Wyman.[1]
