Background

The song was written as a jingle for McDonald's commercials based on a pre-existing German campaign originally developed as "Ich Liebe Es."[2] Timberlake was paid $6 million to sing the jingle; despite this, Timberlake has since regretted the deal.[3] Soon thereafter, the Neptunes produced a song based on the jingle and released it (along with an instrumental version) as part of a three-track EP in November 2003. A digital download EP with the same name was also released through the iTunes Store on December 16, 2003. The extended play included the title-track and a remix for all of the singles from Timberlake's first solo studio album, Justified.[4] The song was also included on the bonus audio CD of Timberlake's first live DVD, Live From London.[2]

Rapper Pusha T revealed his involvement with the song in June 2016 and claimed that he had created the "I'm Lovin' It" jingle.[1] However, co-writers Batoy and Tortora, as well as several others involved with the jingle's creation, have disputed his claim.[1] Nevertheless, Pusha T's rap vocals do appear on the track for the first ad to air with the new hook and slogan; however, he was only paid on a one-time basis without royalties.[5]

Music video

A music video to promote the single was released in late 2003 and was directed by Paul Hunter. In the video, Timberlake is seen chasing a girl played by Lindsay Frimodt around New York City.
