Forget about Cupid. Paris Hilton is the true messenger of love this Valentine’s Day! The heiress celebrates the occasion with a (kind of) new single called “I Want You.” Co-written with Simon Wilcox and Mike Green, the doo-wop bop has been floating around online since at least 2010. What inspired the thinking man’s chanteuse to roll it out now? Well, she’s all loved-up thanks to her engagement to actor Chris Zylka and this is her way of sharing some of their happiness with the world. Which makes her saint and a vocalist.
“I wanna put the happy in your Birthday and I wanna be the merry in your Christmas,” Paris coos at the beginning of the song over a ’50s-inspired arrangement. “I’m always giving thanks for you on every Thanksgiving.” From there, the 36-year-old continues to wax lyrical about love and holidays until she reaches the romantic chorus. “Every hour of the day (every hour of the day), every day of the week (every day of the week),” the “Stars Are Blind” hitmaker sings. “I need you (I need you).” Listen below.
