The song was the official song of Airtel 2010 Champions League Twenty20. The song has sold 4 million copies in the US alone.

Background and composition

Шаблон:Listen The song was composed by Enrique Iglesias, Pitbull, Lionel Richie, and RedOne. Iglesias and Pitbull wrote their lyrics, RedOne produced the music, and Richie's 1983 classic "All Night Long (All Night)" is interpolated after the first and third choruses. The song is written in the key of G major mixolydian, with the chord progression of G-F-Am-G (recorded in [[A-flat major|A Шаблон:Music major]]). It is set in common time with a tempo of 129 beats per minute.

Pitbull's verse features a reference to the Tiger Woods and Jesse James scandals, joking that he was involved with both scandals. The official remix to the song was produced by JAYLIEN and features rapper T.I.

The song was also the official song of Airtel Champions League 2010 cricket tournament held in South Africa. Iglesias performed "I Like It" along with "Be With You" in the opening ceremony of Airtel Champions League 2010. The song was also the official song of the Spain national football team leading up to the World Cup 2010, in part due to Iglesias being Spanish.

Critical reception

Digital SpyШаблон:'s music editor, Robert Copsey, gave the song 3 stars out of 5 and said "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." Bill Lamb, editor of the website About.com, gave a positive review and rated it with 3.5 stars (out of 5), enjoying: "Enrique's charming pop falsetto", Lionel Richie "All Night Long" sample" and the "singalong chorus". Lamb concluded that: " "I Like It" features a retro disco-ish production from RedOne, guest raps from Latin star Pitbull, brief excerpts from Lionel Richie's party anthem "All Night Long," and a shout along chorus of "Baby, I like it!" The overall effect is hit single as churned out by committee. Still, despite the assembly line mentality, "I Like It" retains a certain pop charm. Erika Berlin of Rolling Stone also gave the song 3.5 stars (out of 5), saying "Enrique is back with his most danceable fiesta since 'Bailamos,'" and added "Pitbull gives us insight into his bedroom: "Tiger Woods times Jesse James equals Pitbull all night long." Cheating never sounded so fun!"
