The Stone Roses released their second album, Second Coming, in 1994, which received mixed reviews. The group soon disbanded after several line-up changes throughout the supporting tour, which began with Reni departing in early 1995, followed by Squire in April 1996. Brown and Mani dissolved the remains of the group in October 1996 following their appearance at Reading Festival.
Following much intensified media speculation, the Stone Roses called a press conference on 18 October 2011 to announce that the band had reunited and would perform a reunion world tour in 2012, including three homecoming shows in Heaton Park, Manchester. Plans to record a third album in the future were also floated but only two singles were released. In June 2012, Chris Coghill, the writer of a new film which is set during the Stone Roses 1990 Spike Island show, revealed that the band "have at least three or four new tracks recorded". In June 2013, a documentary about the band's reformation directed by Shane Meadows and titled The Stone Roses: Made of Stone was released.
In 2016, the Stone Roses released their first new material in two decades. The band members continued to tour until June 2017, at which point cryptic remarks by Brown indicated the band had split again, which was later confirmed in a 2019 interview with Squire.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He's already in me
I don't need to sell my soul
He's already in me
I wanna be adored
I wanna be adored
He's already in me
I don't need to sell my soul
He's already in me
I wanna be adored
I wanna be adored

I wanna be adored
At its core, The Stone Roses's "I Wanna Be Adored" is an anthem for those seeking validation and adoration. The repetition of the phrase "I wanna be adored" speaks to a deep-seated desire for widespread recognition and praise. The verses, which declare "I don't have to sell my soul, he's already in me," suggest that this desire for adoration is not a selfish pursuit, but rather a reflection of something greater within oneself. The "he" referred to in the lyrics is open to interpretation - it could be a higher power, a muse, or simply one's own artistic inspiration.
The repetition of the phrase "I wanna be adored" throughout the song is coupled with a driving, hypnotic beat that emphasizes the importance of the desire for adoration. The simplicity of the lyrics and the repetitive nature of the song make it easy for listeners to get lost in the trance-like rhythm and feel as though they too are caught up in the quest for adoration.
Ultimately, "I Wanna Be Adored" speaks to the human struggle for acceptance and recognition. Whether it's in the realm of art, love, or simply in our everyday interactions, the desire to be admired and valued is a fundamental part of the human experience.
