"Baby I Love U!" is the fourth and final single from Jennifer Lopez's third studio album, This Is Me... Then (2002). Released in 2004, it was one of Lopez's lowest-charting singles in the United States, peaking at number seventy-two on the Billboard Hot 100. However, it debuted and peaked at number three in the United Kingdom (behind DJ Casper's "Cha Cha Slide" and Britney Spears' "Toxic"), where the single was originally released. It eventually became the UK's sixty-fifth best-selling single of 2004, with sales of 80,000 copies.[2] The song contains an interpolation of John Barry's 1969 song "Midnight Cowboy", the theme song of the film of the same name.
A remix of the song featuring R. Kelly was also released, which made little impact on U.S. urban radio stations, although it was never officially released. It appears on the bonus CD of Lopez's 2003 DVD The Reel Me.
[edit] Chart performance
The song made its debut on the R&B charts at number 75.[3]
[edit] Music video
The music video, directed by Meiert Avis, featured scenes from Lopez's 2003 film Gigli as a form of cross-promotion. It aired briefly on both MTV and VH1 before being pulled after the film was a massive bomb at the box office. It was replaced with a more generic video that removed all mention of the film.
It shows Lopez in a bright scenery, flirting with the camera and singing on a bed in the end. According to Lopez on The Reel Me, the video was planned to give the element of light and sunshine.
