The single was number one on the dance charts for one week.[1] "I Like You" also crossed over the soul chart where it peaked at #65 and #61 on the Hot 100, respectively.[2] The single was her sole entry into both the pop and soul charts, and the last of two chart entries on the dance chart for her.
