"I Love You Bitch" is the fifth track from Lizzo's fourth studio album "Special".
In an interview with Apple Music, Lizzo spoke on the track:
"“I Love You Bitch” came from a tweet, and it’s not the same as “Truth Hurts”, so don’t come at me for royalties, Twitter. Shortly after “Rumors” with Cardi B dropped, Cardi tweeted that she wanted to hear a love song from me next. And I was like, ‘Okay, if Lizzo did a love song, what would it be? I love you, bitch?’ It was one of those rare times where I had the title before the song. I got in the studio with Omer Fedi and Blake Slatkin and told them about my idea. Omer started playing the guitar, and I started freestyling to it. I’m from Houston, and there’s this Houston rapper named Z-Ro who has a song called “I Hate U Bitch”. Suddenly I was like, hold up, what if I sang the ‘I Hate U Bitch’ melody but said ‘I Love You Bitch’ instead? It just came out, and it might be the greatest thing we’ve ever done. As I was writing the lyrics, I realised that I wanted to write a universal love song—one you could sing to the person you’re fucking and your best friend, to your family or to someone you just met at a bar."
