"I'm in Love with You" is a song by English band the 1975 from their fifth studio album, Being Funny in a Foreign Language (2022). The song was released on 1 September 2022 through Dirty Hit and Polydor Records as the third single from the album. It was written by band members Matty Healy, George Daniel and Adam Hann. Production of the song was handled by Healy, Daniel and Jack Antonoff, while American singer-songwriter Phoebe Bridgers provides backing vocals. Initially written to include an ironic, tongue-in-cheek tone, Healy was challenged by his co-writers to create a song that was earnest and unabashedly about falling in love. Using his relationship with FKA Twigs as inspiration, Healy wrote the song with the notion that love supersedes all cultural and political differences within a relationship.

An upbeat 1980s-style pop song, "I'm in Love with You" incorporates elements of disco, synth-pop, electropop, bubblegum pop and sophisti-pop. The song's acoustic guitar-driven production is composed of a disco groove, pop hooks, snappy acoustics, jangly guitars, synths and strings. Thematically, it is a love song written as an ode to romance. Using a conventional song structure, the lyrics recount an experience of falling in love, with Healy finding it difficult to express admiration for his partner. Upon release, the song was met with generally positive reviews from contemporary music critics, who praised the song's earnestness, simplicity and use of pop music, although it did receive some criticism for its lyrical content. Despite this, the song appeared on numerous year-end lists, including Consequence, The Fader and i-D.

Commercially, "I'm in Love with You" reached number 29 on the UK Singles Chart, number 57 in Ireland, number 27 on the US Billboard Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart, number 4 on the New Zealand Hot Singles chart and number 5 on the Billboard Japan Japan Hot Overseas chart. An accompanying music video, directed by Samuel Bradley, was released on 1 September 2022. Inspired by the works of actor Buster Keaton and filmmaker Federico Fellini, the black-and-white visual serves as a sequel to the 1975's "A Change of Heart" (2016) and features the band as clowns, with Healy attempting to pursue his love interest from the original video. The visual received positive reviews from critics, who complimented the choreography and cinematography, comparing it to a silent film. To promote the song, the band performed on various television shows, including The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Saturday Night Live.
