"I Luv U" is the debut single from British rapper Dizzee Rascal. The single became Dizzee Rascal's first top forty hit, peaking at number twenty-nine and spending three weeks inside the top seventy-five. It was produced by Jacob Friett. It is track three on Dizzee's debut album Boy in da Corner. It is sometimes mistaken for the second single released by Dizzee Rascal, after number two, Fix Up, Look Sharp.

The song is about teenage relationships, teenage pregnancy, undesirable player girls and falling for girls who are using you. More specifically, the song chronicles a relationship where sex is used as blackmail ending up in the eventual breakdown of said relationship when the male character starts fantasizing about a college girl. Although the college girl has escaped the ghetto via education, according the Dizzee, she still gives "ghetto head". These are all things that are said in a joking manner, yet they sound all too real and horrifying ^[1].The chorus features Dizzee Rascal and Lady Sovereign conversing^[2].
