The song was written by the band's bassist Gene Simmons, and was released as the fourth single off the album on November 23, 1998. The song only charted on Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks, reaching number 22. The band never performed the song live. It was the final recording to feature the original line-up. BackgroundGene Simmons, the sole writer of the song, said about the lyrics: "The lyrics talk about a time when everyone in the band was bitching at each other in the press. With family, there's always a mixture of affection and bickering. Listen, we're really servants of the people. Ultimately we have to brush aside our internal differences for the greater of the whole, the greater good, which is the fans. The least we owe them is to shut up, get up on stage and put out." The song is the only one where all band members share lead vocals. At first, the song was titled "Just Give Me Love" and was written in 1977, but Simmons changed the lyrics to make it as a story of the band members.[1]It is one of only three songs from the album where Ace Frehley played lead guitar, with the others being "Into the Void" and "In Your Face". Drums were not played by Peter Criss, but by Kevin Valentine, a session drummer who played on every track on the album, except "Into the Void". "You Wanted the Best" was released as fourth single off Psycho Circus. It managed to chart only on Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks, reaching number 22. Kiss never performed the song live.
