“I Want Out” is a song by the German power metal band Helloween from the album Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 2, that was released as a single in 1988.
It was written by Kai Hansen, who confirmed in an interview, that is was a hint of him really wanting “out” of the band. Musically, the song is characterised by a recognisable introduction and Michael Kiske’s trademark high pitched singing in the chorus. It is also notable for being punk-influenced (especially the rebellious lyrics) in contrast to other Helloween songs, or Hansen’s post-Helloween work.
It is one of the Helloween’s most recognizable songs, and is often performed live by both Helloween and Hansen’s current band Gamma Ray.
