The lyrics of "Like You" by Chris Brown, featuring Parlay Starr and Tyga, express the desire for someone to be themselves and feel beautiful. The song encourages the listener to forget their worries and insecurities, and to just be themselves on the dance floor. It speaks to the idea that being true to oneself is the most attractive quality one can possess, and that external beauty is not the only measure of worth. The song's chorus asserts that the singer is there for the listener, and that they will accept them for who they are, and let them have their way.
