"I Think I'm in Love with You" is a song written by Cory Rooney and Dan Shea, and produced by Rooney for Jessica Simpson's debut album Sweet Kisses (1999). It contains a sample of singer-songwriter John Cougar's "Jack and Diane" (1982) and was released as the album's third and final single in summer 2000 (see 2000 in music). The song's protagonist declares "Boy I think that I'm in love with you, got me doin' silly things when it comes to you".
Los Angeles radio station KBIG-104 produced a mixed version of "I Think I'm in Love with You" with a few samples of "Jack and Diane" lyrics and the same ending as the earlier song. Simpson recorded a Spanish version of the song titled "Talvez Es Amor".

[edit] Commercial Release
Commercial singles were set to be released in the US, however they were cancelled due to mis-prints on the back inlay. However some singles were shipped to various music stores throughout the US and sold, even though they were put on recall. The singles contained all the radio version (which is longer than the album) of the song and six club mixes. The single was however released as a 12" single in the U.S., however at the time sales of 12" singles could not compete with CD/CD-MAXI singles. Fans and critics believe the single didn’t chart as well due to the cancellation of the commercial single. The commercial release would have brought the single to the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 if it was released.
[edit] Music video
The single's video begins with Simpson and her friends meeting a group of men unloading furniture from a van, before leaving and being followed by the men along the highway to an amusement park, where both groups spend the day together. The video was directed by Nigel Dick.
[edit] Chart performance
It was more up tempo than Simpson's previous singles and became a moderate hit, reaching number twenty-one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, largely on the strength of its radio airplay; it reached the top five on Billboard's Top 40 Mainstream chart and achieved success on the Adult Contemporary and Rhythmic Top 40 charts.
