"I Don't Wanna Fight" is a song written by the British singer Lulu, her brother Billy Lawrie and Steve DuBerry and was first offered to singer Sade, who sent it on to Tina Turner. Turner recorded it in 1993 as part of the soundtrack for her autobiographical film, What's Love Got to Do with It. Featuring a wistful but resolute vocal set against a melodic synthesizer line, the track was a substantial hit on both sides of the Atlantic, reaching number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 as well as number seven on the UK Singles Chart. This is Turner's last top-ten hit in the US. "I Don't Wanna Fight" was number one in Canada for five weeks.
Lulu's version appears as the b-side to her 1993 single "How 'Bout Us" as well as on the 2003 album The Greatest Hits.

In this instance, it seems as though scientific progress and technical developments had been only taken advantage of to achieve something about which all former ages dreamed but which none had been able to realize.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“To make life more bearable and pleasant for everybody, choose the issues that are significant enough to fight over, and ignore or use distraction for those you can let slide that day. Picking your battles will eliminate a number of conflicts, and yet will still leave you feeling in control.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
