Jennifer Lopez - "Baby I Love You!" (2003)

[🇯🇲 dollybaby 🇯🇲]

Y'all remember when she wrote this song for her then boo Ben Affleck? It was her fourth and final single from her third album "This Is Me...Then". The song was well received by critics who complimented Lopez vocals. It contains an interpolation of the theme for the film Midnight Cowboy (1969). Commercially, the song was as successful as the other singles from the album in the United Kingdom, where it peaked at number three. In the United States, the song peaked at number 72 on the Billboard Hot 100, and reached the top 30 of the Mainstream Top 40 chart. Eventually, the song became J. Lo's lowest charting-English single on the Billboard charts, until "Papi" became her lowest charting-single, later in 2011. The song also made its debut on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart at #75. The song received a Billboard Spin Award on March 25, 2006 for 50,000 spins.

I still like it. It’s different hearing her on a ballad that’s not urban-leaning.

Didn't realize it peaked so high in the UK...

I like this song. I think it's quite simple but it works.

That whole album was pretty much a love letter to Ben Affleck. She was so sprung on him.
