"I Want You" (stylized in all uppercase) is a song recorded by the Filipino boy band SB19, taken from their second extended play (EP), Pagtatag! (2023). Written by its producer, August Rigo, and the band's leader, Pablo, "I Want You" is a soul and R&B love song about expressing desire for a person. Before the EP's release, Rigo teased working with SB19 in late 2022, following their previous collaboration with the boy band's rendition of Eraserheads' "Christmas Party" (2022). Sony Music Philippines released the EP on June 9, 2023, with "I Want You" as its second track.
Reviews from music critics applauded the boy band's ability to cross genres, and Billboard Philippines has listed "I Want You" as one of the best Filipino songs of 2023. The accompanying music video, directed by Jed Regala, depicted multiple scenes of the boy band underwater. The group promoted the song with live performances and included it on the set list of their Pagtatag! World Tour (2023). The song won the Wishclusive R&B Performance of the Year award at the Wish 107.5 Music Awards 2024.
