"I Love College" is a song by American hip hop recording artist Asher Roth, released on January 13, 2009, as the lead single from his debut album, Asleep in the Bread Aisle (2009). The song, which was produced by Mike Caren, Apathy (rapper), and Ben H. Allen, also serves as Roth's commercial debut single, released by Schoolboy, SRC and Universal Motown. The song was later serviced for Airplay to radio stations in the United Kingdom, on April 27, 2009.
The song is related to the time spent at West Chester University. The song originally sampled "Say It Ain't So", as performed by American rock band Weezer, but was reworked by Ben H. Allen, as it is believed that their lead singer Rivers Cuomo, refused to clear the sample. The song also samples "10% Dis", as performed by MC Lyte.
The music video was directed by Jonathan Lia and Scooter Braun. It was released to online outlets in early February. The video is set at a house party of the fictional Alpha Sigma Eta (AΣH) fraternity, and features activities such as binge drinking, smoking marijuana, strip poker, beer pong and "pieing" and there is a replica WWE championship in the background.
