I Wanna Love You

最開始，伴唱該首歌曲的説唱歌手並不是史努比狗狗，而是説唱歌手Plies。2006年7月，Plies和他同伴在佛羅里達洲蓋恩斯維爾的夜店表演時，在得知需要把原定的表演時間減少15分鐘來給另一位受邀説唱歌手Lil Boosie演出後，Plies向現場觀眾開槍，導致5人受傷，之後他和朋友被逮捕。之後，阿肯與史努比狗狗的工作團隊達成協議，兩人互相在對方的專輯裏伴唱一首歌，於是這首歌開始由史努比狗狗伴唱。 ^[5] 

歌曲的原本名字叫《I Wanna Fuck You》，但由於為了迎合大眾，於是電台發出的歌名就變成了《I Wanna Love You》。 ^[5]

《I Wanna Love You》是一首混有説唱、當代節奏布魯士和都市樂風格的歌曲。歌曲的音調以A小調為主，擁有每分鐘120次的中度嘻哈節拍。作為聲樂歌手，阿肯的音域必須控制在A4到E5之間。歌曲的鋼琴和吉他很出色。 ^[6] 

這首“單生情歌”展示了阿肯在與他人合作時的能做到完美的優點，最精彩的是阿肯備份的高亢嗓音，它表現了無助的需要。 ^[7]  史努比狗狗的加入是歌曲更加嬉皮，但使歌詞脱離了體面地一面，這粗魯的歌詞似乎就是在説“我愛脱衣舞娘”。 ^[8] 

歌曲的音樂錄影帶由本尼·伯姆執導，於2006年11月17日釋出。

音樂錄影帶開頭，阿肯與史努比狗狗在白色背景中唱歌，而一羣美女則在性感地跳板凳舞，畫面中的線條給人一種監獄的感覺。還有美女拿着照相機史努比狗狗調情。音樂錄影帶中，歌中情景的變化都離不開美女。最後，音樂錄影帶中還出現幾個黑男人。 ^[9]
