Background[change | change source]

"I Choose You" is the third single from Woman to Woman. The ballad was written by Elijah Blake, who wrote several songs on the album. It was intentionally written for Mariah Carey and presented to Mary J. Blige and Jennifer Hudson before it got to Cole.[2] Cole's version was finally recorded in 2012 by Kuk Harrell. In the summer of 2012, it was debated as the second single, opposed to "Trust and Believe".[3] Cole often cites "I Choose You" as one of her favorites from Woman to Woman.[4]

Music video[change | change source]

The music video for the song was filmed in August 2013.[5] It was directed by Ethan Lader.[6] The video displays a story of Cole being in love with two men but not being able to let one go. Cole appeared on BET's 106 & Park on October 2, 2013 for the world premiere of the video.[7] The video premiered on VEVO later that evening.
