"I Love You 3000" is a single by Indonesian-American singer-songwriter Stephanie Poetri. It was released on June 3, 2019, through 88rising and 12Tone Music.
Background
Inspiration for the song came after Poetri held an Instagram Q&A with her followers. Poetri asked her followers to send her a phrase she could turn into a song, and many responded with the phrase "I Love You 3000". This was mainly due to the release of superhero film Avengers: Endgame a week earlier, which featured the viral line.{{cite web |last1=Haddad |first1=Hanan |title=Stephanie Poetri Talks Working With Jackson Wang, K-Pop And More |url=https://www.eonline.com/ap/news/1085434/stephanie-poetri-talks-working-with-jackson-wang-k-pop-and-more |website=E!
