Trasfondo[]
El 25 de febrero de 2014, Melanie publicó un Tweet que decía: "Cuando publique mi álbum, solo quiero poner los nombres de cada canción como emojis. 🎠🍋🍭💧👶 you ❤️ i etc.".[1] Con "you ❤️ i" se refería a esta canción. El tweet fue posteriormente eliminado.
Melanie también mencionó la canción en una publicación de Facebook en 2014.[2]
Tema[]
Esta historia cuenta sobre una mujer que conoce a un chico con quien rápidamente comienza a salir. Poco a poco se sienten cada vez más atraídos el uno por el otro y se mudan juntos. Deciden casarse, pero antes de poder hacerlo, ella lo engañó. Luego lo culpa por no esforzarse lo suficiente y canta: "that's what happens when you don't try" (eso es lo que pasa cuando no lo intentas).
Letra[]
[Intro - Invertida]
Uh, do I feel happy in life?
Uh, do I feel happy in life?
Uh, do I feel happy in life?
Uh, do I feel happy in life?
[Estrofa 1]
The end, I move back in
Before you knew it, I cheated on him
Oh yeah, that's what happens when you don't try
You know I always thought about him
Even when the other boys sneak in
But infidelity would never even cross my mind
[Pre-coro]
Wonderful, so wonderful
But, boy, don't get too comfortable
'Cause what we have's untouchable, I, I, I
I stood deaf till I stood dead
Untied a knot in my wedding dress
He got down on one knee and he said
[Coro]
You love I?
You love I?
You love I?
Do I? Do I? Do I? Do I?
[Post-coro - Invertido]
Uh, do I feel happy in life? (Do I, do I?)
Uh, do I feel happy in life?
Uh, do I feel happy in life? (Do I, do I?)
Uh, do I feel happy in life?
[Estrofa 2]
Uh oh, I move back out
He invited mе into his fancy house
It's been so long we might as well try
You know I always thought about him
Try to movе slow then love sneaks in
But movin' in together wouldn't ever cross my mind
[Pre-coro]
Wonderful, so wonderful
You turned my heart into a puppet show
If you like me please let me know, I, I, I
One day, the very first date
He walked on over and he asked my name
He could be the one to say
[Coro]
You love I?
You love I?
You love I?
Do I? Do I? Do I? Do I?
[Refran]
I love you
I love you
I love you

Curiosidades[]
- El 20 de junio de 2018, se distribuyó ilegalmente un álbum de 20 canciones titulado "Unreleased" que contenía esta canción bajo el nombre de Melanie Martinez.[3]
- El álbum se eliminó por completo hasta el 11 de julio de 2023, donde esta canción se relanzó junto con "Night Mime" como sencillos disponibles para transmisión en "VelvetyGhost". Al día siguiente, ambas canciones fueron eliminadas de la transmisión nuevamente.
- Esta fue la primera canción desechada de Cry Baby que se filtró
- La canción incluye un mensaje enmascarado. Si inviertes y ralentizas la primera serie de voces antes de la de Melanie, el clip de audio es de Marilyn Monroe diciendo: "Uh, do I feel happy in life?" (Uh, ¿me siento feliz en la vida?)".
- Esta es una de las cuatro canciones conocidas de Melanie que incluye un mensaje oculto, las otras son "Teddy Bear", "Eraser" y "Puzzles".
- Aunque la versión 2 es la última versión realizada, Melanie cantó la versión final en el Dollhouse Tour.
- A Melanie no le gustó esta versión y eligió la que hizo primero como la definitiva.
- La versión final fue publicada accidentalmente por Warner/Chappell Music después de ser descartada.
- Los stems oficiales de esta canción se filtraron en 2021.
- El título es "I Love You" (te amo) al revés, lo que juega con el tema de que la narradora en realidad no ama al hombre.
