Jana Kramer is a popular actress who played Alex Dupre on the young adult television drama, One Tree Hill. In February 2011, she signed with Warner Bros. Nashville Records and after a couple of promotional releases, this story of two young people falling in love was released as her first official single. She debuted the song on the One Tree Hill eighth season finale on May 17, 2011.
This song was written by the Nashville songwriters Ashley Gorley, Catt Gravitt and Chris DeStefano. "That was just a great, fun, day," Gravitt told us. "Ashley came in and had a great vibe, and just started off running on the song, then we dove in on it. Ashley had to leave at like 3:30 to go pick up his kids, which I completely love and respect that about him. And Chris and I finished up the demo."
Though Kramer didn't pen the song, she can readily identify with it. "'Why Ya Wanna' is a song that everyone can relate to," she said. "When I first heard the song, I was hooked immediately. It was literally everything I was going through and more, so it meant a lot to record a personal song that became my first single."
