Background
When asked in an interview with
Composition
"We Wanna" was written by Ramon Ayala, Jacob Luttrell,
Lasting three minutes and fifty-two seconds,[6] it begins with Stan singing its chorus and the first strophe, following which she further provides vocals for the mainpart.[15] Next, Inna performs the second burden of the single, and the refrain repeats until Yankee makes a rap-cameo.[15][16] Music website Pop Shock felt the recording leaned "more towards Alexandra's recent output than Inna's heavier dance sound."[21]
Reception
Upon its release, "We Wanna" was met with positive to mixed reviews by
"We Wanna" experienced moderate commercial success after its release. It entered the Romanian
Music video
A music video for the song was uploaded onto Stan's YouTube channel on 8 June 2015.[35] It was previewed by Romanian publication Cancan, which published behind-the-scenes footage on 13 May 2015;[36] three additional teasers preceded its premiere.[37][38][39] The visual was shot in Puerto Rico and Romania by Khaled Mokhtar, Dimitri Caceaune and David Gal, with whom both Stan and Inna had collaborated with in the past.[5] The choreography used in the clip was done by Emil Rengle and Cristian Miron.[5]
The video opens with Inna answering to a call she gets from Stan on her Lenovo smartphone, of which the ringtone is the saxophone riff featured in the song. Subsequently, both are presented standing close to each other in front of a red backdrop and a cactus. The next scene portrays Stan and some backup dancers hanging out in the dressing room of a club, with her eventually going downstairs to the full party hall and later meeting Inna there. Next, Yankee makes a cameo appearance in the clip, followed by both singers performing a synchronized choreography. The video ends in the same way it opens. Cut scenes portray Yankee, Stan and Inna singing and dancing to the song in front of yellow, green and blue backdrops, Inna performing to the club's crowd or Stan dancing on a runaway.[35]
Bradley Stern from MuuMuse praised the singers' posing, dancing, make up and hair styling throughout the visual.[22] Idolator's Mike Wass felt the clip featured "raunchy outfits" and "dubious dance moves".[19] Website Hitfire explained that the music video revalued the song, further pointing out the absence of a plot, but naming it "worth seeing".[17]
Live performances
The song was included on the set list for all concert tours that promoted Stan's Alesta,[18] but was also used by Inna for several other venues.[40][41] The singers performed "We Wanna" live for the first time together on 17 October 2015 in Italy at Discoteca Le Rotonde.[42] They further sang a stripped-down version of the recording for Romanian radio station Pro FM on 9 June 2016,[43] while additionally uploading a video on Stan's YouTube channel that sees them performing the song live at Parcul Herăstrău, Romania.[44][45]
