"I Love My Bitch" (known as "I Love My Chick" in its edited version) is the second single from Busta Rhymes's seventh studio album, "The Big Bang" (2006). The single features will.i.am (who also produced the track) and Kelis.

The release date for the single in the United Kingdom was July 10, 2006. However, due to the UK chart rules allowing songs to chart on download sales alone, one week before the single's physical release, it was Busta Rhymes' second consecutive hit to make the top forty, entering at number twenty three on download sales only, the same position that "Touch It" had charted at. Upon its physical release, the single became his second consecutive top ten solo hit, peaking at number eight there, two positions lower than "Touch It" had charted.

Music video

The music video for the song, directed by Benny Boom, is based on the 2005 film "Mr. & Mrs. Smith". Busta Rhymes plays Mr. Smith and Gabrielle Union plays Mrs. Smith. Will.i.am and Dr. Dre also appear in the video, but for unknown reasons, Kelis does not. Also, Eminem voices the marriage councilor in the video; this becomes obvious once Eminem speaks at the end of the video. It reached number one on BET's "106 & Park".
