"All I Want to Do Is Rock" is the debut single by the Scottish rock band Travis. Originally released as a 10" vinyl on the Red Telephone Box label in 1996, it was fully re-released by Independiente Records a year later on 6 June 1997, after the band signed with the label to record their debut album Good Feeling (1997). The band frequently refers to the track as their "theme song" or their "national anthem", and as of 2009, have added the song back onto their live set lists. The song later appeared as a snippet on Hellboy II: The Golden Army.
Travis frontman Fran Healy wrote the song in 1995 while in Millport, Scotland. At the same time, Healy also wrote "Turn", which would later be recorded for the band's following album, The Man Who.
