"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]

Background

[edit | edit source]

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]

Composition

[edit | edit source]

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]

Music video

[edit | edit source]

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]

Remix

The official remix features American rapper Bia and was released October 1, 2021.[8]
