"I Love You" is a song written by Keith Follesé, Adrienne Follesé and Tammy Hyler, and recorded by American country music singer Martina McBride. It was released in July 1999 as the first single from her album Emotion. McBride originally recorded "I Love You" for the 1999 film's soundtrack, Runaway Bride, starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. The promotion the song got on the soundtrack is one of the reasons for its high chart performance. The single was then released on her upcoming album and later included on her Greatest Hits compilation album.
