"Give Me What I Want" is the second single by Kids in Glass Houses to be taken from the band's debut album Smart Casual. It was released on 19 May 2008. The song was nominated for the Kerrang! Award for Best Single.

The track was originally released as "Me Me Me" in June 2007. It has since been re-recorded and renamed "Give Me What I Want" for the album Smart Casual. The band have suggested through their blog that they are not entirely happy with this decision, made to prevent "Me Me Me" from being purchased from an earlier Kerrang! compilation album instead of the single. It has reached #62 on the UK Singles Chart. The track on the single differs slightly from that on the album, in that it was mixed by Chris Lord-Alge rather than Romesh Dodangoda.

The B-Side for this single, "Be Nice (Start Now)", was intended to be on the album in place of "Good Boys Gone Rad" (recorded after the album's completion as a B-Side) until very late in production. However, the two tracks were switched after the band decided "Good Boys Gone Rad" fitted into the album better.^[1]
