"I Like You (A Happier Song)" is a song by American rapper and singer Post Malone featuring fellow American rapper and singer Doja Cat. The song was written by the artists alongside Billy Walsh and producers Louis Bell and Jasper Harris.[2] It was sent to US contemporary hit radio as the third single from Malone's fourth studio album, Twelve Carat Toothache, on June 3, 2022.

Critical reception

Ben Devlin of MusicOMH praised the chemistry between Post Malone and Doja Cat on the song.[5] Conversely, Robin Murray of Clash said that "Doja Cat seems wasted on the frothy 'I Like You (A Happier Song)'".[6]

Writing for Billboard, Lyndsey Havens ranked it the third best song on Twelve Carat Toothache, noting it "impossible not to smile" at its titular lyric, "I like you, I do," further going on to praise Doja Cat's verse and harmonies which make the song "sweeter."[7]

Commercial performance

Following the release of Twelve Carat Toothache, "I Like You (A Happier Song)" debuted at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100. The song later peaked at number three in its 16th week on the chart. It was the most successful release from the album, as well as Post Malone's highest-charting single since "Circles".

Music video

The music video was released on July 26, 2022. As of September 2023, the music video has received over 110 million views.[8][9][10]
