"I Like It" is the second single by Liverpudlian band Gerry and the Pacemakers. Like Gerry Marsden's first number one "How Do You Do It", it was written by Mitch Murray. [1] The song reached number one in the UK Singles Chart on 20 June 1963, where it stayed for four weeks. [2] [3] It reached No. 17 in the American charts in 1964. [4]

Cash Box described it as "a happy-go-lucky jump'er that Gerry [Marsden] solo vocals in ear-arresting style." [5]
