"I Do" is a song written by Brian Wilson. Wilson originally produced a version for The Castells. But that record, released through Warner Brothers, never charted. The Beach Boys version of the song was first released on the Surfer Girl/Shut Down Volume 2 two-LP-on-one-CD format. It was recorded on 6 November 1963, between the recording of Little Deuce Coupe and Shut Down Volume 2.
"I Do" is the second single from British R&B artist Jamelia. "I Do" was the first single from her debut album Drama and was her first UK top 40 hit, peaking at #36 on the UK Singles Chart. It also albe to chart a #3 in France and #15 in Germany.
"I Do (Wanna Get Close To You)" is the first single off 3LW's second album A Girl Can Mack and featured P.Diddy & Loon. The single wasn't a great success only peaking at #58 on the Billboard Charts during 2002.
I Do was the Maltese entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2006, performed in English by Fabrizio Faniello.
The song is an up-tempo number, in which Faniello tells his lover that "I love you like a fool", despite the fact that their relationship has ostensibly ended. He tells her that "I won't give you up, I'll never stop" and that he is "Waiting for the day when I hear you say/Our love is here to stay". The video plays up this angle further, as it features a split-screen story in which Faniello and his former lover going through their day and doing much the same thing at much the same time while coming to the realisation that their relationship should not have ended. They both leave their houses to see each other, only to arrive at each other's now-empty house. Disconsolate, they both sit down and attempt to call each other and receive no answer. Faniello then throws his phone down beside him, only for it to hit his former lover - which results in the split screen breaking and the pair reuniting.
As Malta had finished the 2005 Contest in second place, the song was pre-qualified for the final. Here, it was performed seventh (following Spain's Las Ketchup with Bloody Mary and preceding Germany's Texas Lightning with No No Never). At the close of voting, it had received 1 point (from Albania), placing 24th (last) in a field of 24 and thus requiring Malta to qualify through the semi-final at their next Contest appearance. Reports also surfaced of tensions between members of the Maltese delegation on the flight back to Valletta. The poor result is claimed to be as a result of the performance, in which Faniello and his backing vocalist (Alexandros Panayi) appeared to sing in different keys and frequently miss notes.
South African boy band Hi-5 recorded an Afrikaans cover of the song, titled Vergewe My Heer
It was succeeded as Maltese representative at the 2007 Contest by Olivia Lewis with Vertigo.
"I Do" is a song by Lisa Loeb, from her album Firecracker, recorded in 1997. The song is also featured on The Very Best of Lisa Loeb.
On the surface, the song seems to be about "the realization that a person isn't right for you, that the relationship has gone bad" However, the real intention of the song is quite different according the the booklet for The Very Best of Lisa Loeb: "We were almost finished recording the album, Firecracker, and the record company told us that we still needed a single. I decided to write a song that sounded like a song about a relationship, but was actually about the record company not 'hearing' a single on the record already. You can hear it in the lyrics, 'You can't hear it, but I do.' The song ended up being an expression of strength and power even when someone's not treating you right."
The song was warmly greeted by critics who called the melody and chorus "nothing short of pure pop bliss." The single is Loeb's second most successful single in the USA to date, reaching #17 on the Billboard Top 100.
