"I Like" is a song by American singer-songwriter, actress and dancer Shanice, released as the fourth single from her third album, 21... Ways to Grow (1994), in August 1994. It samples "I'll Take You There" by the Staple Singers. A music video was produced to promote the single. Critical reception M.R. Martinez from Cash Box described the song as a "seductive ballad". Martin Johnson from Chicago Reader felt that on the album’s "most natural-sounding tracks", as "I Like", "she sounds self-assured and determined to elaborate her priorities." 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". Track listings 12-inch single A1. "I Like" (Masters at Work main mix) A2. "I Like" (Masters at Work 54 dub) B1. "I Like" (Kenny Dope main mix) B2.
