"Whatever You Like" is a song recorded by American singer Dove Cameron. It was released by Disruptor and Columbia Records on September 19, 2025, as the fourth single from Cameron's upcoming debut studio album. After performing the song for the first time in April 2025 at an online gig, she began teasing the release of the song in August of that year.
The lyrical content of the song explores Cameron's relationship with Italian singer Damiano David and finally realizing the feeling of true love after being in previous loveless relationships. She stated the song is about the "first good man [she has] ever loved". [2] Billboard noted the difference between "Whatever You Like" and previous works of Cameron, describing it as "a simple, sweet love song".
In April 2025, Cameron headlined "Everything Must Go", an online, live gig where viewers could buy memorabilia from her life and career. The livestream was to raise funds for the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). [3] The setlist for the gig included "Whatever You Like", [4] marking it as both the first time fans had heard the song, as well as the first time Cameron had performed it. [5]
Cameron, who has been in a relationship with Damiano David since 2023, [6] wrote the song in 2024 about the "first good man [she has] ever loved". [2] She confirmed it was the second song she had written about him, hinting the first one would be included within her upcoming debut album. [2] Cameron also explained that "Whatever You Like" is about the realization that despite being in previous relationships, she had not truly known love before. The lyrics explore the couple's love in its "simplest and truest form" and finding "the person you want to do every little thing with for the rest of your life". [1]
Billboard magazine noted the difference between the track and the three singles released prior to it, "Too Much", "French Girls" and "Romeo". They wrote: "after a series of releases in which she takes every opportunity to challenge convention, Dove Cameron is ready to give her fans a simple, sweet love song". [7] However, they appreciated that Cameron was still delving into her "cheeky, winking wordplay". They complimented the lyric "you've got my ear like Van Gogh", which they described as "an out of nowhere bar". [7]
