"I Think I'm In Love with You" was the first of Simpson's videos to have a solid plot line. The video starts out with Jessica and her girlfriends, including her sister, Ashlee running into a group of exhausted factory workers unloading furniture from a truck. The workers exhausted from their unloading, and in need of some female company, gladly join Simpson and her girlfriends in an impromptu dance on the streets. After some dancing, the girls decide to leave, and the news is not well received by the men. The girls decide to leave anyway, disappointing the factory workers, who follow the girls in their truck.
As Simpson seems to be in a festive mood, she seems unworried by the stalking, and continues to sing the song while wearing sunglasses and sitting in a dangerous position in her friend's car as they drive quickly on the highway. After a quick stop at the end of the highway, Simpson and the others reach their destination: the amusement park. The factory workers following the girls reach the park too, and can be seen dancing with the girls and enjoying rides with them. As the day carries on, it is soon time for Simpson and her girlfriends to leave, and once again they abandon the factory workers. The workers seem a bit peeved by the girls ditching them again, but they do not pursue the girls any further. The video is also inter cut with scenes of Simpson in front of a giant heart, probably to correlate with the song's theme.
The video was directed by Nigel Dick.
