Songfacts®:

  • Jonas Blue joins forces with Theresa Rex for this dance-pop anthem. This is the first time they have worked together; the UK producer had wanted to collaborate with the Danish singer ever since he heard her voice on Martin Jensen's "Solo Dance."
  • Jonas Blue wrote the song with Lene Dissing and Peter Bjørnskov, who are part of the songwriting team Startone Music together with Sune Haansbæk. Dissing and Bjørnskov previously co-penned Martin Jensen's "Solo Dance."
  • The song is about the rush of craziness that often accompanies early love. Jonas Blue told UK's Metro newspaper that lyrically, "What I Like About You" is similar to his debut hit "Fast Car."

    "It's a relationship that turned rebellious and the idea is that this person, this woman goes against the wishes of all her friends and family about being in this relationship," he explained. "But she does it anyway because of the power of love and the way she feels about this person."
