We Want It All is one of only two songs the Rage Against the Machine vocalist Zack de la Rocha released while the band was disbanded. Out of the twenty or so tracks which De La Rocha and Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails collaborated on, this is the only track of those sessions which has been released. The song was produced by Reznor and was recorded at Nothing Studio in New Orleans in 2003. It was mixed by David Bianco at Sunset Sound in Los Angeles and mastered by Steve Marcussen.
