"I Like It"
Song

"I Like It" is a song performed by Spanish singer Enrique Iglesias taken from his first bilingual studio album, Euphoria. It was produced by RedOne and interpolates Lionel Richie's 1983 "All Night Long (All Night)"[2] as well as featuring American rapper Pitbull and was released on May 3, 2010.[3] The song was also included on the official soundtrack to MTV reality series Jersey Shore. A version of the song without Pitbull is also found on the international version of Euphoria. The song also serves as the first single off of the Jersey Shore soundtrack.[4] "I Like It" has sold more than 5 million copies worldwide. It hit the three million mark in the US itself.

Background

The song is produced by RedOne and co-written by himself and Pitbull (who is a featured guest on the song) and interpolates Lionel Richie's 1983 classic "All Night Long (All Night)".[2][3] He said: "It's a song that when I wrote it and not much thought was more by sound." The official remix to the song was produced by Jaylien 2010 & features T.I.[5] The song features a reference to the Tiger Woods and Jesse James scandals, with Pitbull jokingly raps that he was involved with both scandals. The song is also the official song of Airtel Champions League 2010 cricket tournament held in South Africa. Iglesias performed "I Like It" along with "Be With You" in the opening ceremony of Airtel Champions League 2010.[6]

Critical reception

"I Like It" has received generally mixed reviews from critics. The song received an average review from Digital Spy's music editor Robert Copsey which gave 3 stars (out of 5) and say that "The verses may feature enough Auto-Tune to make Kesha feel vocally exposed, and the Eurodisco production courtesy of RedOne may have a hint of the Cascada to it, but it's the cheesy lyrics that ensure this stays an unmistakably Enrique affair."[7] Bill Lamb editor of the website About.com gave a positive review and rated it with 3.5 stars (out of 5), enjoying: "Enrique's charming pop falsetto", "Lionel Richie "All Night Long" sample" and the "singalong chorus". Lamb conclued that: " "I Like It" features a retro disco-ish production from RedOne, guest raps from Latin star Pitbull, brief excerpts from Lionel Richie's party anthem "All Night Long," and a shout along chorus of "Baby, I like it!" The overall effect is hit single as churned out by committee. Still, despite the assembly line mentality, "I Like It" retains a certain pop charm.[8]

Erika Berlin of Rolling Stone also gave the song 3.5 stars (out of 5), saying "Enrique is back with his most danceable fiesta since 'Bailamos,'" and added "Pitbull gives us insight into his bedroom: "Tiger Woods times Jesse James equals Pitbull all night long." Cheating never sounded so fun!"[9]
