"I Love You" is a 1995 single by American singer-songwriter Mary J. Blige, taken from her second album My Life.
Background "I Love You" was included as a B-side on the standard cassette release of Blige's single "You Bring Me Joy". It charted as a double A-side with "You Bring Me Joy" on the U.S. Hot 100 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop songs charts.
There were plans and negotiations of a possible music video for this single to be shot back-to-back with "You Bring Me Joy", but plans were scrapped. I Love You (Part 2) was recorded with rapper duo Smif-n-Wessun. The song samples the piano loop of Isaac Hayes's "Ike's Mood" from 1970's album "...To Be Continued", and samples "Hollywood's World" by DJ Hollywood.
