"I Like It, I Love It" is a song written by Jeb Stuart Anderson, Steve Dukes, and Mark Hall, and recorded by American country music artist Tim McGraw. It was released in August 1995 as the first single from his album All I Want. The song is McGraw's ninth single overall, and it became his third number-one single on the Hot Country Songs chart.

Content

"I Like It, I Love It" is an up-tempo, guitar-driven song in which the narrator claims that he likes it, he loves it, and he wants some more of it.

In popular culture

The song appears on the game Karaoke Revolution Country and was also almost invariably played during the halftime of ABCs Monday Night Football. It is also a part of the goal song for the NHL's Nashville Predators; McGraw re-recorded the chorus, replacing "'bout that little gal's lovin'" with "'bout the Predators scorin'."

When McGraw performs the song live, he often substitutes "Braves" in the first verse with the name of a sports team that plays in the arena, stadium, or nearest city in which he is performing. For example, when he performs at Staples Center in Los Angeles, he may sing, "I ain't seen the Kings play a game all year."

During the 1995 Seattle Mariners season, many Seattle radio stations played the song which was intertwined with calls by Dave Niehaus during their games. The team had an excellent summer that year and won the American League West in a one-game playoff against the California Angels on October 2, 1995. They advanced to the first ever American League Division Series where they defeated the New York Yankees to reach the American League Championship Series which they lost to the Cleveland Indians.

Music video

The music video was directed by Sherman Halsey, his usual director of choice, and was filmed during his touring.
