A music video directed by David Meyers was made for "I Just Wanna Love U."

Janet Jackson included the song in a dance breakdown during "Nasty" on her "All for You Tour". The song was also featured during Coldplay's Viva tour as pre-show music, a reference due to Jay-Z's feature on the track "Lost!".Beyonce also included the song in the "Crazy In Love" breakdown on her "I Am World Tour".

Jay-Z's verse 1 features sample from The Notorious B.I.G.'s song "The World Is Filled..." from Life After Death album. The chorus of the song is interpolated from the Rick James song, "Give It to Me Baby".

Reception

During a spot on Bill Maher's talk show, Jay-Z revealed the song was based on a true story, about real life events that occurred during a Mary J. Blige afterparty. Allmusic's Steve Birchmeier considers "I Just Wanna Love U" to be "a fun, playful song miles away from the rugged Ruff Ryder beats Swizz Beatz had been offering Jay-Z a year earlier."^[1] In addition, Rob Marriott of Rolling Stone and Steve Juon of RapReviews.com describe it as a club-ready^[2] track that will get "whips hopping from coast to coast.".^[3] The single eventually became the first Jay-Z single to reach #1 on the Hip-Hop/R&B chart. The song was voted #1 by Complex magazine for their Best Songs of the Decade list.^[4] The song peaked at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100, #1 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, #3 on Billboard's Hot Rap Songs chart, and #17 on the UK Singles Chart.

Britney Spears said she was inspired by Jay-Z and "I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me)" to work with the song's producers The Neptunes for her Britney album, saying "for this album I was really inspired by Jay-Z and The Neptunes, those were the two people I really listened to." Spears' single "I'm a Slave 4 U", released the following year, was produced by The Neptunes and became a defining hit in her career.
