Song

"I Like It" is a song performed by Spanish singer Enrique Iglesias taken from his first bilingual studio album, Euphoria.

A version of the song without Pitbull is also found on the international version of Euphoria. The song reached number one on the Canadian Hot 100 and has became a top-ten hit in a number of countries, including Australia, Belgium, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States, where it reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Enrique's first solo top five hit in nearly eight years, the last being 2001's "Hero", which peaked at number three. The song also serves as the first single off of the Jersey Shore soundtrack.[4] I Like It is also the official song of Airtel Champions League 2010 cricket tournament held in South Africa and Enrique also perform this song I Like It &Be With You in the opening ceremony of Airtel Champions League 2010[5] The song peaked at number one in Canada,Australian Dance Charts , US Latin Pop Songs and US Hot Billboard Dance Club Songs[46].[6]

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. [7]

Critical reception

"I Like It" has received generally mixed reviews from critics. The song received a positive 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".[8]

Music video

A music video was filmed along with Pitbull directed by Wayne Isham.[9] The music video was premiered on May 19, 2010 at The Sun's website.[10] An alternate version of the video featuring the MTV's Jersey Shore cast was also released,[11] the music video for this version was released on June 7, 2010, directed by David Rousseau. As of 10 October 2010 the video has been viewed by over 40 million viewers on YouTube[12] The video depicts the two at a wild party at a nightclub as well as a pillow fight between two women on a bed in lingerie
