"I Like" is a song by American singer-songwriter, actress, and dancer Shanice, released in August 1994 as the third single from her third album, 21... Ways to Grow (1994). The song samples " I'll Take You There" by the Staple Singers. [2] A music video was produced to promote the single.
M.R. Martinez from Cash Box described the song as a "seductive ballad". [3] Martin Johnson from Chicago Reader felt that on the album’s "most natural-sounding tracks", such as "I Like", "she sounds self-assured and determined to elaborate her priorities." [4] Pan-European magazine Music & Media commented, "'I Love' (' I Love Your Smile') was what she once sang; now it's 'I Like'. This romantic tuning down is translated to a more streetwise swingbeat song. We not only like it, we love it". [5]
