What phrase became McDonald's global advertising slogan when the “I'm Lovin' It” campaign launched in 2003?

The story behind the answer

“I'm Lovin' It” became McDonald's global advertising slogan when the campaign launched in 2003.

The campaign was introduced internationally as a unified marketing platform and used the phrase across television, radio, print, packaging, and other promotional channels. Its conversational wording was intended to sound like a consumer's personal reaction rather than a formal corporate promise.

The campaign's music and production history has received substantial attention, including the recording of the jingle and disputes about creative credit. Those issues are separate from the slogan itself, which became the enduring verbal centerpiece of the campaign.

The phrase is sometimes written with different capitalization in ordinary text, but McDonald's official styling is “I'm Lovin' It.” It remains one of the company's best-known modern brand lines.
