"I Love You" is a song by American country music artist Martina McBride. It was written by Keith Follesé, Adrienne Follesé, and Tammy Hyler along with being produced by McBride and Paul Worley. It was recorded for the soundtrack of the 1999 film Runaway Bride and was released as the lead single from McBride's sixth studio album Emotion (1999).
Released originally on July 26, 1999 to country radio, it became the biggest success of McBride's career on the country chart, spending five weeks atop the US Hot Country Songs chart. It also became a crossover hit, peaking at number 21 on the Adult Contemporary chart and becoming her highest charting single on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 24. The song would later be included in her Greatest Hits package.
"I Love You" debuted at No. 43 on the US Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart for the week of July 31, 1999. It subsequently reached No. 1 in late 1999 and remained there for five consecutive weeks until it was knocked off by "When I Said I Do" by Clint Black and Lisa Hartman Black; it is McBride's biggest country hit to date.[1] The song also charted at No. 24 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 21 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. "I Love You" is McBride's highest-charting single on the Hot 100 and was her first entry as a solo artist on the Adult Contemporary chart.
The song's music video shows McBride singing in a dress at a wedding hall, with video screens of the Runaway Bride film in the background. It was directed by Gerry Wenner.
