“What a Girl Wants” became one of Christina Aguilera’s breakout hits, featured on her 1999 debut album. Originally written by Shelly Peiken and Guy Roche as “What a Girl Needs,” the song had first been recorded by French artist Ophélie Winter in both English and French. Aguilera’s version, retitled, turned the track into a global pop anthem that cemented her arrival as a star.
