I have to admit that I was an avid fan of the 1987 Whitesnake release “Is this Love”. And I wasn’t the only one, it was number 2 in the US singles chart, making it their second biggest US hit after “Here I Go Again” which hit number 1. Well, when Mosh and I were writing ballads in early March of 1990, I turned to Mosh and said, I know Coverdale (the author of Whitesnakes “Is This Love”) was wondering if it was Love he was feeling, but I want to write a song about knowing your in Love, then you end up hurting that person your in Love with, so you want them back so you can Love them a little more.

Hence, the title “I Wanna Love You (a little more)”
