"I Think I'm in Love with You" is a song written and produced by Cory Rooney and Dan Shea for Jessica Simpson's debut album Sweet Kisses (1999). It contains a sample of singer-songwriter John Mellencamp's "Jack & Diane" (1982) and was released as the album's third and final single in summer 2000 (see 2000 in music). The song's protagonist declares "Boy I think that I'm in love with you, got me doin' silly things when it comes to you". The single reached at top ten in Australia, Canada and Japan and in the top 20 in the UK, Scotland and New Zealand. In the United States, it reached number 21.

Los Angeles radio station KBIG-104 produced a mixed version of "I Think I'm in Love with You" with a few samples of "Jack and Diane" lyrics and the same ending as the original version. Simpson recorded a Spanish version of the song titled "Tal vez Es Amor". A radio / single mix of the song was also released with a slightly longer outro. It is 22 seconds longer than the original album version.

The song was also included in the second volume of the soundtrack of The WB's television drama Dawson's Creek.

Music video[]

"I Think I'm in Love with You" was the first of Simpson's videos to have a solid plot line. The video was directed by Nigel Dick. 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 pursue the girls in their truck. As Simpson seems to be in a festive mood, she seems unworried by their 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 once again cheating death and a quick stop at the end of the Vincent Thomas Bridge, Simpson and the others reach their destination: the Pacific Park. The factory workers following the girls reach the park too, and dance with the girls and enjoy amusement park 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 yet again, but they do not pursue the girls any further. The video is also intercut with scenes of Simpson in front of a giant heart.

The video's TRL world premiere debut was on June 1, 2000 at number 10. The video peaked at number five and stayed on the countdown for 25 days, making it her first successful video on MTV's TRL. [1]
