"I Love You's" is a song by American singer Hailee Steinfeld, released on March 26, 2020, by Republic Records. The song samples "No More I Love You's" by Annie Lennox, thus David Freeman and Joseph Hughes are credited as songwriters.[2] The song was produced by co-writer David Stewart (not to be confused with the Eurythmics' Dave Stewart) and serves as the second single from Steinfeld's second EP Half Written Story (2020).[3]
