"I'm Still in Love with You" is a song by Jamaican recording artist Sean Paul for his second studio album, Dutty Rock (2002). It features vocals from Sasha. Released on 6 October 2003, the song reached number six in the United Kingdom and number 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. It also became a top-10 hit in Hungary, Italy, Ireland, and Switzerland.

Composition

[edit]

The song is an interpolation of "I'm Still in Love with You" by Alton Ellis. Sean Paul and Sasha (the female counterpart) are discussing a stalled and seemingly unfulfilled relationship. Paul's character is trying to explain that the relationship was somewhat of an extended one-night stand, and that it has no future; Sasha's character seems to want to continue the relationship, despite Paul's admittance of "thug" love because she remains in love with him.

Though the original version's message was more vague, the message in this version seems much clearer in explaining the relationship between the characters in the song's story. Alton Ellis' version was originally produced as a one-man song, but he later teamed up with his sister Hortense Ellis to perform a duet. It wasn't until this moment that the song showed a romantic battle between two parties to continue a seemingly ruined relationship.

Music Video

[edit]

The music video was directed by Director X, known as Little X at the time. The video revolves around two main love interests reminiscing over their former affair. The lead female role is model Sara Liz Pickett. The lead female dancer is choreographer Tanisha Scott.

Cover version

[edit]

Hortense Ellis also did her own version of her brother's song entitled "I'm Still In Love with You (Boy)", which was later done by Marcia Aitken. Aitken's version of the song featured a slight but noticeable difference in vocal pitch from either of the Ellis' versions. Sasha's vocal patterns more closely resemble Marcia's interpretation than that of the Ellis'.

In 2019, Brazilian singer Anitta remade and reenacted the visuals for Sean Paul's original video with her song "Terremoto," featuring Brazilian rapper Kevinho. The video ends with the following messages: "Thank You Sean Paul" and "Directed Remade by João Papa".[1]
