"I Want You" / "Me Pones Sexy" is the first single from the Mexican Latin pop singer Thalía's 2003 crossover studio album Thalía. The track features American rapper Fat Joe and is notable for its sample of Brenda Russell's song "A Little Bit of Love". The song peaked at number 22 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Both songs were written by Cory Rooney, Gregory Bruno, Fat Joe, Thalía, and Brenda Russell, and produced by Cory Rooney and Davy Deluge.
Thalía performed the song on various shows to promote it including Good Morning America.[1] In December 2003, Thalía was invited to the Jingle Ball along with other artists such as Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson, Beyoncé, Sean Paul, and Simple Plan and where she was the first of nine artists to sing where she performed the song along with her hits "Dance Dance (The Mexican)", "Baby, I'm in Love", and "¿A Quién le Importa?".[2]
"I Want You" became a modest success, peaking at number 22 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song also achieved international success in countries like Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Romania.
The music video for "I Want You" was directed by Dave Meyers and shot in The Bronx, New York. The video aired in May 2003. It won an award for "Video of the Year" on Lo Nuestro Awards in the next year in Latin America.
In the video, Thalía seduces some bricklayers and sings while some guys are playing basketball. Fat Joe also appears in the video.
