"I Love You's" is a song by American singer Hailee Steinfeld, released on March 26, 2020, by Republic Records. The song samples "No More I Love You's" by Annie Lennox, thus David Freeman and Joseph Hughes are credited as songwriters. [2] The song was produced by co-writer David Stewart (not to be confused with Dave Stewart of Lennox's former music group Eurythmics) and serves as the second single from Steinfeld's second EP Half Written Story (2020).

Background

Steinfeld released an album cover, as well as dropping the name for the song on Instagram on March 24, 2020, with the caption "i love you's • march 26th". [4] [5] According to Rolling Stone , the song was inspired by Annie Lennox's "No More 'I Love You's" (1995). [6] Steinfeld spoke to EW about what inspired the song: [7]

"I went through a breakup and did not give myself enough time to heal from that before getting into another relationship. When that second relationship ended it became clear that I needed time and space to heal — I hadn't given myself that to begin with that first time around. I didn't realize the importance of that."

Composition

The song features "floaty synths" and "peppy beats". [8] Lyrically, it is about self-love and hope and is composed in the key of E♭major with a tempo of 107 beats per minute. [8]

Music video

A lyric video, created by Katia Temkin, accompanied the song's release. [9] Steinfeld co-directed the song's official music video with Sarah McColgan, [7] which premiered via YouTube on March 31, 2020. [10] The music video shot in black-and-white featuring Steinfeld wearing see-through clothing while embedded with white background in studio.
