Cassie spoke to The Harbour Agency about the song: [3]
"The song is such a fusion", "It’s urban in the verses and then the chorus rocks out a bit. There are even some punk bits in the bridge too. "Like many of my other songs, I started this one in my studio and I wasn’t thinking about genre or a song to match the others. It was just what I was feeling at the time so there are a lot of different vibes in it but you can still sing along".
The music video was shot at Fox Studios Australia in Sydney Australia. [4]
It premiered on the 2day Fm website on 16 January 2009. [5]
Cassie Davis uploaded it to her official YouTube channel on 21 January 2009. [6]

It starts off with someone typing in "www.ilikeitloud.com" on a laptop computer then it cuts to both Davis with her lips changing from one colour to another and another female with an I like it loud badge placed on her tongue. There are many scenes in which Cassie and her dancers perform to energetic choreography. Gymnastics is also used in one part of the video.
