"I Really Like You" is a song recorded by Canadian singer Carly Rae Jepsen for her third studio album, Emotion (2015). It was written by Jepsen, Jacob Kasher Hindlin, Peter Svensson, and Steve DaMar; and produced by Svensson. The song was released as the album's lead single on 2 March 2015.

"I Really Like You" peaked at number 14 on the Canadian Hot 100. Outside of Canada, "I Really Like You" topped the charts in Hong Kong and Scotland, peaked within the top ten of the charts in Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Japan, the Republic of Ireland, South Africa, and the United Kingdom, and peaked within the top 20 of the charts in Austria, Germany, Slovakia and Switzerland. The song's accompanying music video starred Tom Hanks and featured Justin Bieber, and was released 5 March 2015.

Writing and production

[edit]

"I Really Like You" was written by Jepsen, Jacob Kasher Hindlin and Peter Svensson, and produced by the latter.[1] According to Jepsen, the song's lyrics are about "that time in a relationship when it's too soon to say 'I love you,' but you're well past, 'I like you' and you're at the 'I really, really like you' stage."[1]

Composition

[edit]

Soraya Nadia McDonald of The Washington Post characterized "I Really Like You" as a synth-pop song, musically reminiscent of Jepsen's previous album Kiss (2012), 1980s music and Solange Knowles' 2012 EP True.[2] The Verge's Emily Yoshida noted elements of 1980s and new wave.[3] Ryan Reed of Rolling Stone described the track as a "dance-pop number".[4] Musically, the song is written in the key of F major, with a tempo of 122 beats per minute. Jepsen's vocals span from G3 to high note of D5.[5]

Critical reception

[edit]

Jason Lipshutz of Billboard called the song "really (really) fun" and "a breathless 80's banger that comes back to [2012 single] 'Call Me Maybe''s fixation on ultra-crisp percussion and blurted-out flirtation".[6] Idolator's Bianca Gracie described "I Really Like You" as "mind-blowing, fantastic, catchy-as-hell pop".[7]

In October 2022, Rachel Seo of Variety ranked "I Really Like You" as Jepsen's 13th best song, writing: "'I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?' reads like a succession of desperate Snapchat messages, but Jepsen's ascending soprano seamlessly weaves through Jeff Halavacs and Peter Svensson's electro-pop production, sounding more enthusiastic than anything else."[8]

Commercial performance

Jepsen filmed part of the song's music video on 16 February 2015, in front of the Mondrian Hotel in Manhattan alongside Hanks, Justin Bieber and a troupe of dancers. Also making cameo appearances in the video are Rudy Mancuso and King Bach, well-known users of the short-form video sharing application Vine. The video was released on 6 March 2015.[17] CBC Music's Nicolle Weeks described it as "a more affable version" of the music video for The Verve's "Bitter Sweet Symphony" (1997).[18] The music video has been rated as one of 10 Best Music Videos of 2015 (So Far) by the readers of Billboard.[19]
