"I Love You" is a hip hop song written by American rapper Vanilla Ice. Released as a single, it peaked at number 52 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1990. It was also a hit in the UK (45), Germany (65), and New Zealand, where it peaked at number 30. A departure from his usual style, "I Love You" is a ballad, and was released on Valentine's Day in 1991.
A promotional video for the song, directed by Michael Bay, was produced by Mike Bodnarczuk.
The song was described by Allmusic writer Steve Huey as "a lyrically simplistic, overemoted ballad".
The music video was featured in an episode of Beavis and Butt-head, where the duo make fun of Ice and pan the video.
