Red roses and gourmet chocolates be damned! Paris Hilton treated fans with the most scrumptious little Valentine's Day gift on Wednesday, February 14: a new song.

"I Need You" is a pointed departure from the sound of Hilton's 2006 R&B and dance album, as well as her Ibiza-primed EDM output from the past few years, showing a softer side to the glamorous heiress.

The new song is a sweet little retro-pop love song featuring twinkly flourishes of doo-wop.

Over a sugary mid-tempo beat and vintage synthline, Hilton coos, "I wanna put the happy in your birthday / And I wanna be the merry in your Christmas/ I’m always giving thanks for you on every Thanksgiving / Sure as the sun will rise, I need you."

Prior to release, Hilton, who made her music debut with a self-titled album in 2006, teased the song with a series of romantic, retro-themed photos on social media. Check them out, below:
