Jeremy Jordan cover
"Wannagirl" was covered by Jeremy Jordan and released in the spring of 1993. It was the follow-up single from his debut album Try My Love on Giant Records. It was co-written by Keith Thomas, who produced both versions. Background harmonies were retained from the original recording, but vocals were added by Audrey Wheeler, Chris Rodriguez, Cindy Mizelle and Emanuel Officer as well as some from Lorenz. Both versions are almost identical from a production standpoint, but the newer version features an extra breakdown and a different vocal arrangement starting at the 3:15 mark.
A music video was released to promote the song. It received play on MTV, ranking at number 44 on the channel's most-played videos listing for the week ending May 9, 1993. In Japan, the single was released as a double A-side single with "The Right Kind of Love".
