Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about I Like It. By Songfacts®.

This club banger teams two of the biggest stars in Latin music: Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull. They wrote the lyrics, with Lady Gaga collaborator RedOne supplying the beat and handling production. The song finds the boys putting the moves on a lady at the club, offering a good time with no strings attached. "It was a fun fantasy," Iglesias, who was in a long-term relationship with the tennis player Anna Kournikova, explained to People. "Not overthought, just a fun song."

This hook line, "Party, karamu, fiesta, forever," comes from Lionel Richie's 1983 hit "All Night Long (All Night)." The interpolation earned Richie credit as a songwriter on "I Like It."

Listeners liked it indeed. Released as a single from Iglesias' 2010 album Eurphoria, the song was a global smash, his first big hit since "Escape" back in 2002. Pitbull was on the rise at the time, coming off a big hit with "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)." A year later, he landed his first #1 with "Give Me Everything (Tonight)."
