"I Like Dat" is a song by American singers T-Pain and Kehlani. It was released on May 14,2021,through Nappy Boy and Empire. The song is a "sequel" of T-Pain's song "Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin')" (2007). [2]
In early May 2021,T-Pain went live on Instagram with Mark Zuckerberg to discuss Zuckerberg sending him messages. At the end of the livestream,T-Pain introduced Kehlani and announced their collaboration. [3] In a statement,T-Pain expressed that Kehlani "has been one of the best to work with",saying:"[They] did [their] thing on this track and made it what it is." [4]
The song is written in the key of F♯ Minor,with a tempo of 88 beats per minute. The Song's intro is taken from a sample of T-Pain's 2007 hit single Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin'),released 14 years earlier. [5]
An accompanying "cowboy-style" music video was released on June 24,2021,and directed by Christian Breslauer. [6] The video features T-Pain arriving in a town "on his horse and buggy to sell his self-made "drank" to the townsfolk". Kehlani plays his associate,a townswoman "downing [their] drink and making out with a fellow townswoman,which arouses the gunslingers". T-Pain makes a profit and performs the song with Kehlani in a saloon before they set off for another town. [7]
The official remix features American rapper Bia and was released October 1,2021. [8]
