The lyrics to "I Like Dat" by Houston, Chingy, Nate Dogg, and I-20 are about the sexual attraction between men and women, with a focus on the way women move their bodies. The chorus repeats the phrase "I like that" with variations on what the girls should do: "girl twerk that back" and "girl freak that back." The song is about finding sexual pleasure and expressing it through dancing and physical contact.
The opening lines of the song suggest that there is a connection between the storm outside and the sexual tension inside the room where the singer and his partner are located. The storm symbolizes the intensity of the situation, with lightning representing the passion that the two people share. The singer urges his partner to "put her hands up" and "shake it fast" while he looks for what she needs, suggesting that he wants to please her sexually. The verse ends with a call to "turn around and make it pop," further emphasizing the importance of the visual and physical elements of attraction.
The second verse includes references to conflict and temptation, with the singer grinding against his partner despite the obstacles in their way. He claims to feel the "vibration" of her body, reinforcing the theme of physical sensation. The verse ends with another call to "turn around and make it pop," emphasizing that the dance moves are not just enjoyable but essential for building sexual tension. The song concludes with a final repetition of "I like that," interjected with instructions for the woman to turn around and show off her body.
