A-side "If You Were with Me Now"

"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 Freestyle Orchestra's "Keep On Pumping It Up" and a Salt-N-Pepa song "I Like It Like That".

Background

During this time, Minogue was fascinated by club music. Although her music was always played in commercial clubs, but the pop element of her earlier works made the "cooler clubs" tend to "frown upon." Minogue then created an alias for herself as "Angel K," set about releasing white label promotional vinyl's of tracks included "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]

Critical reception

Nathan Wood from Foxtel's MaxTV called the song "surprising", 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 criticized the stadium keyboard part that lays the foundation of the song, called it one of album's "noticeable missteps."[5] Nick Griffiths from Select gaved a mixed review on the track, called the song "impressive but blatant clubdom."[6]
