But Stevie did not write this music track. It was an instrumental track by Rick Nowels (or someone else).

I looked at Wikipedia- it said written by Stevie, Rick Nowels, and Eric Pressly (both of whom have produced many Belinda Carlisle songs), and the entry said Stevie was given the music music track by Rick and Eric.
She has said that she only performed I Can’t Wait for one tour because it was just too hard to perform live. While I’m sure it is a challenging song live, she should remember the context as well- she was at her peak drug use during her Rock a Little tour, which was more likely why the song was so hard for her to perform live. Nowadays, with backing tracks and her back up vocalists doing much of the hard stuff, I’m sure she could do the song live now and make it sound good. Plus she had some very minor dance moves and hand motions she did that she could probably do today that wouldn’t put her at risk for falling.
I’ve always felt I Can’t Wait would make an incredible set opener.
