"I Like" is a 1994 song by American singer-songwriter, actress and dancer Shanice, released as the fourth single from her third album, 21... Ways to Grow (1994). It samples "I'll Take You There" by The Staple Singers.[1] A music video was also produced to promote the single.

Critical reception

M.R. Martinez from Cash Box described the song as a "seductive ballad".[2] 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".[3]
