"I Do" is a song by British-American band Fleetwood Mac, from their 1995 album Time . The song was released as a single to support the album and charted at number 62 in Canada. The song was written by Christine McVie and Eddy Quintela, and produced by long-time Fleetwood Mac producer Richard Dashut. An edit of the song was included in the deluxe version of box-set 50 Years – Don't Stop . [1]
While its parent Time album was largely panned by music critics, "I Do" has been received positively by some publications. Ultimate Classic Rock singled out "I Do" as the one "great song" from Time and highlighted its "joy-filled chorus". [2] GQ labeled "I Do" as one of the ten best post- Rumours songs, writing that the song "sounds like something from the Mirage era; it certainly doesn't sound like a pop song produced in the 1990s. It's all jangly keys, shimmery guitars and soaring backing vocals. It's also, fittingly, one of the more positive song on this list, a vow to love someone in spite of their flaws." [3]
