I Need You (Paris Hilton song)

"I Need You" is a song by American socialite and media personality Paris Hilton. It was released as a standalone single on February 14, 2018, coinciding with Valentine's Day. The song is a love ballad dedicated to her then-fiancé, Chris Zylka. "I Need You" departs from Hilton's previous electronic dance music (EDM) releases, exploring a more sentimental and stripped-down sound.

The song is characterized by its simple piano melody, heartfelt lyrics, and Hilton's breathy vocals. The lyrics express deep affection and commitment, emphasizing the importance of her relationship. Music critics noted the sincerity of the track, although opinions on Hilton's vocal performance were mixed. Some praised the vulnerability conveyed in her delivery, while others found it to be somewhat weak and lacking in technical skill.

The single was accompanied by a music video featuring intimate footage of Hilton and Zylka together. The video aimed to capture the authenticity and depth of their relationship. While "I Need You" did not achieve significant commercial success, it remains notable as a personal and expressive piece of work within Hilton's discography, showcasing a different side of her artistic persona. The song and its accompanying video offer a glimpse into Hilton's personal life during a period of intense romantic involvement. Shortly after the release of the song, Hilton and Zylka ended their engagement.
