WHAT I LIKE

“What I Like” is the 9th track off of English recording artist Charli XCX’s first studio album, True Romance. Along with many other songs on this album, Charli expresses herself through speak-rap and a catchy hip-hoppy beat with this lovestruck tune. She talks about the one guy who understands her, and does everything that she is interested in, all the while he treats her right and they have a good time. This song is speculated to be about film and music video director Ryan Andrews, with whom Charli was involved in at the time of this song’s release. He also happened to be the director for several of her music videos, including the one for this song! “What I Like�� was officially released as True Romance’s fifth single on May 17th, 2013, a little bit over a month after the album’s release.
