"I Guess I Like It Like That" is a 1991 promotional single written by Australian singer-songwriter Kylie Minogue and British producers Mike Stock and Pete Waterman for Minogue's fourth album Let's Get to It . The song samples 2 Unlimited's "Get Ready for This" written by Phil Wilde, Jean-Paul de Coster and Ray Slijngaard. On the 2015 UK re-release of the Let's Get to It album, Wilde and de Coster were credited as co-authors of the song (Stock/Waterman/Minogue/DeCoster/Wilde). The song also samples Freestyle Orchestra's "Keep On Pumping It Up" and the Salt-N-Pepa song "I Like It Like That".
During this time, Minogue was fascinated by club music. Although her music was always played in commercial clubs, the pop element of her earlier works made the "cooler clubs" tend to "frown upon" her music. Minogue then created the alias "Angel K" for herself and released white label promotional vinyls of techno tracks including "Do You Dare" and "Closer"; both of the songs later appeared as B-sides on "Give Me Just a Little More Time and "Finer Feelings", respectively. [3]
Nathan Wood from Foxtel's MaxTV called the song "surprising" and claimed it "signaled Kylie's change from a pop princess to an artist with diverse, genre-pushing tastes, and paved the way for her extensive exploration into the world of dance music that would come later." [4] Digital Spy 's Nick Levine stated he "has even fallen for the 2 Unlimited sample." [1] However, Chris True from AllMusic criticised the stadium keyboard part that lays the foundation of the song, calling it one of album's "noticeable missteps". [5] Nick Griffiths from Select gave a mixed review of the track, calling the song "impressive but blatant clubdom". [6]
Kylie performed the song on the following concert tours:
