"Why Don't You Want My Love?" is a single by American singer La Toya Jackson. After recording her sixth studio album Bad Girl, which would be distributed in 1991, Jackson signed a deal with BCM Records in Germany.

The song was intended to be the lead single for a new album under the BCM label, but the company went bankrupt before the album could be completed. "Why Don't You Want My Love?" was originally scheduled for a release in fall 1990 but was delayed several times until its release in January 1991. The single was released in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

BCM started a huge print campaign for the CD single, advertising the single with the caption "A fresh new start with BCM", and there is even a short message for all DJs at the end of the CD single with Jackson's soft voice asking, "Now DJs, why don't you want my love?".

The single was released on 7", 12" and CD formats, but failed to reach the charts. In 1993, the song was licensed to the German label "Legend", who released a remix of the song along with the 12 tracks from Jackson's Bad Girl album. The compilation was titled Why Don't You Want My Love?.

Jackson quickly signed a new record deal with Pump Records in the Netherlands and released a new single and album only 10 months later.

La Toya Jackson songs
1990 songs Why is a Canadian Alternative Rock band from Winnipeg, Manitoba that has had several national hits and has done much fundraising for non-profits.

Formed in 1993, Why released its first album The Naked Soul in 1994. Their most recent album was The Leap (2013), with singles "Weep" and "Do It Scared."

WHY had two hit singles from the album Red (2007), "The Surface" and "Red".  The latter song was song of the year on Winnipeg radio station KICK FM. WHY received attention with its video and hit single "Prisoner of Hope" in 2010.

Origins
The name "Why" was created by lead singer Brian Cook.

As Cook explained, "I was watching a TV special on John Lennon around 1992, and there was a part filmed the day he died and fans were all around his and Yoko's New York apartment with candles and signs, and one sign just said 'WHY.' No question mark, just three capital letters, and I thought, 'That's the most used word in our troubled world.' Henry Thoreau said, 'Why is the beginning of knowledge,' so it seemed right for a band with so many questions."

History 
WHY released their first album The Naked Soul in 1994 and followed it up with The Rise and Fall of the Question Mark. After playing shows in support of Question Mark, the band underwent a line-up change.  Why's next album, The Lazarus Effect, was 2002. The title song received air play in major radio markets across Canada

In 2002 WHY began its involvement with the Make Poverty History campaign. Copies of Lazarus Effect  were given out before U2 concerts in Ottawa and Montreal. Other copies were made available at Make Poverty History and online at cdbaby.com, with a portion of the proceeds from the album going directly to the charity. The single Keep My Peace also received a music video.

In 2007, Why released the album Red. The single (and title track) "Red" was serviced to radio worldwide. "Red" held #1 on KICK FM's Top 40 chart for 4 weeks in a row, and was named "Song of the Year".  The second single "The Surface" also charted, hitting #1 on KICK FM and #5 on The Q FM in Victoria, British Columbia.  The song was named in the Winnipeg Free Press''' Top 10 songs of 2007.

WHY played shows in Winnipeg supporting  Red. and appeared on A Channel's The Big Breakfast,. WHY was also showcased in Canadian Music Magazine that same year. In an interview with online magazine Interference, singer Brian Cook explained that Red was based on everything which the color represents: anger, joy, passion, danger, heat, for example. After Red  was completed, Cook became aware of the (RED) campaign and offered the use of the single "Red" at no cost. However, the (RED) campaign never picked up the song.

Soon after the release of Red, Why underwent another line-up change. During this period, WHY released singles "We Started Out (Somebody's Baby)" and "More or Less" as part of Ray Zahab's film Running the Sahara.

In late 2009, WHY recorded and released their hit single and video "Prisoner of Hope," which charted #6 on KICK FM and received national play.

During the summer of 2010, the "Prisoner of Hope" video was entered into a contest for an opening slot before Bon Jovi in Winnipeg. Later that same summer, the video was again entered in a contest, Winnipeg radio station Curve FM's "Rock on the Range" Contest, and made it to the finals. Prisoner of Hope was played on Curve FM and members of the band were interviewed on air.

Why later released the single "Crash into the Future". The band has also recorded a re-mix version featuring Fresh IE. On World's AIDS Day, 2010, WHY played a benefit concert at the Winnipeg Convention Center.

WHY released their fifth album, The Leap, in 2013.

Non-profit work
Why has donated proceeds from their albums to The Global Fund, Make Poverty History, and UNICEF. WHY donated 100% of funds raised by downloads of "Prisoner of Hope," from cdbaby.com and iTunes to UNICEF for relief for the earthquake in Haiti, . UNICEF featured the video for "Prisoner of Hope" on its website, under "Featured Videos."

W where invited by Bono's ONE Campaign to film a performance of an iconic protest song as a part of the Agit8, for the G8 to draw attention to extreme poverty. WHY covered the Rolling Stones' song "Gimme Shelter"  Why's performance was featured on ONE's international site, and footage from WHY's performance was featured in the Official ONE trailer. Why were the only Canadian rock band asked to participate.

WHY's music has been featured on the websites of the charities Impossible 2 Possible and WaterCan, in fundraising efforts for OXFAM and UNICEF, and on Brad Pitt's MySpace page.
