"Baby I Love U!" (labeled as "Baby I ♥ U!") is the fourth and final single released 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 U.S., peaking at number seventy-two on the Billboard Hot 100. However, it peaked at number three in the UK, where the single was originally released. It was the sixty-fifth best-selling single of 2004 in the UK, with sales of 80,000 copies.[1] The song contains an interpretation of John Barry's 1969 song "Midnight Cowboy", the theme song of the film of the same name.

There's also a remix of the song featuring R. Kelly, which made little impact on urban radio stations, although it was never officially released. It appears on the bonus CD of Lopez's 2003 DVD The Reel Me.

[edit] Music video

The music video, directed by Melert 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.
