Songfacts®:

  • Tesla guitarist Frank Hannon explained this track to Bravewords.com: "That song is really simple and straight to the point. It is a positive message in the same vein as Tesla has songs like, 'Getting Better,' 'Call It What You Want,' 'Hang Tough.' Songs with positive lyrical messages about life, which has been the underlying theme for a lot of Tesla's music like, 'What You Give,' songs like that are made for positive inspiration. That is what 'I Wanna Live' is about."
