"(I'm) Confessin' (that I Love You)" (also known as "Confessin<nowiki>'</nowiki>, "I'm Confessin', and "Confessin' that I Love You") is a jazz and popular standard that has been recorded many times.
The song was first produced, with different lyrics, as "Lookin' For Another Sweetie", credited to Chris Smith and Sterling Grant and recorded by Thomas "Fats" Waller & His Babies on December 18, 1929.
In 1930, it was reborn as "Confessin', with new lyrics by Al J. Neiburg; the music this time was credited to Ralph Edward 'Doc' Daugherty and Ellis Reynolds.
Louis Armstrong made his first, and highly influential, recording of the song in August 1930, and continued to play it throughout his career. Unlike the crooners, Armstrong did not try to deliver the original song's lyrics or melody; instead, he smeared and dropped lyrics and added melodic scat breaks.
