Commercial Release

The commercial single of, I Wanna Love You Forever, was released on the 28th of September, 1999 in the US. The went straight to the top of the charts claiming the number one spot for six weeks on the Billboard US Single Sales Charts. The commercial release of the single also helped bring the single to the number three spot on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Charts. The commercial released contained the radio edit of the single and snippets from her forthcoming debut album, Sweet Kisses. A maxi single was set for release, it was to contain all the club mixes, but was later canceled. I Wanna Love You Forever, is Jessica Simpson’s biggest commercial single to date, it went to sell over one million copies in the US alone.

Music video

As her debut video, careful attention was made to make sure that Jessica's virginal image would be used as the "anti-sex appeal" to draw viewers in. Directed by Bille Woodruff, the video does not follow the dramatic story told in the song at all and instead centers on Jessica in a photo shoot. The photo shoot starts out with Ms. Simpson being photographed in front of a giant airplane as she wears a white outfit with a blue jacket. The song then shifts to a new scene in which Ms. Simpson has removed her jacket and is now in front of sunflowers.

The video seems to take things slowly, but in a dramatic turn of events, the sunflower scene is literally pushed over, to reveal the song's final scene: Simpson covered only in black on a dramatic soundstage lighted with blue lights. The video also features shots intercut with the making of the video of Jessica and her personal girlfriends. Although the video shoot is commonly believed to be a fake one, it appears that the video breaks the fourth wall as photos of the photographer taking photos apparently exist.

Chart success

As Ms. Simpson's debut single, there was obviously pressure for the song to do well. "I Wanna Love You Forever" did not disappoint, as it peaked within the top five of the Billboard Hot 100. Its commercial sales were particularly strong, and landed the single the top spot of the Hot 100 Singles Sales for six weeks; this in turn earned the song a platinum certification.
