"
I Want You" is a song by
American recording artist
Cee Lo Green, from his third studio album
The Lady Killer. The song was released via digital download and CD single on June 5, 2011. French TV channel Canal+ featured a live concert on Nov. 12, 2010, a few days after the release of the album, in which a version close to the later single was performed. The single version of the track is a slightly different remix of the track, and has been issued under the title "
I Want You (Hold On to Love)", to distinguish it from the album version. The single version incorporates a sample of Saint Tropez's 1978 track "Hold on to Love". The music video for the song was premiered on May 27 through Cee Lo Green's official YouTube channel. The song is featured on the Compilation album
Now 79 despite only peaking at #90 on the
UK Singles Chart.
