This is the fifftenth time something happens to the Barney doll before coming to life. It's when Danny dries off the wetness on Barney with a red/yellow towel.
In some scenes of this video, Duncan Brannan actually voices Barney alone.
This is one of the first videos to be closed captioned by Caption Technologies, Inc.
This marks the final appearances of Jeff and Kim. However, Erica Rhodes (Kim) would later appear in the Season 10 episode Dancing as a Hip Hop dancer.
This was also the only early 2002 video not to feature Robert; although the next episode after this along with Danny, Keesha, and Emily is his final appearance.
In "I Love You", the arrangement is similar to Barney's Magical Musical Adventure and some Season 2 episodes. And before the second verse, Barney says "Whether it's rainy or sunny, you're all very special to me."
Also, between April 26 and 28, the video was shown on the 30-foot Sunset on the Beach screen in Waikiki. This presentation was followed by a 20-minute sing-along with Barney, Baby Bop, and BJ performing songs from the video, as well as an encore performance of "Wipe Out".
