The album was originally going to be called "Masquerade," but the title was changed to "All I Ever Wanted." That was because because Clarkson felt that there were already albums with similar themes then on the charts, such as P!nk's "Funhouse" and Britney Spears' "Circus". "All I Ever Wanted" sold 828,000 copies in the U.S. The album was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 52nd Grammy Awards.
