Overall Meaning

The song "I Like It" by The Script and will.i.am is an ode to the female form and the influence of mothers in shaping their daughters' physical appearance. The chorus consists of the repeated question, "Baby where'd you get your body from?" and the answer is always the same, "I got it from my mama." The lyrics often describe women as "sitting in temptation" and having a "beautiful vibration," suggesting that a woman's beauty is a powerful force. The song also makes the claim that if a girl's mother is attractive, she will likely be attractive as well, and conversely, if the mother is unattractive, the daughter will be too.


The song has a catchy, upbeat rhythm that is perfect for dancing, which is fitting given its subject matter. However, some have criticized the song's objectification of women and perpetuation of narrow beauty standards. Despite this, "I Like It" remains a popular club and party anthem, with many people embracing its positive energy and uplifting message.

The singer describes two women, one who is 24 and could be a model, and the other who is 44 but still attractive.

The singer compares a woman's beauty to a sensation and temptation, and marvels at her radiance. He implies that the woman's mother deserves credit for her beauty, and suggests celebrating her as a divine creation. The woman's vibration is beautiful and every day should be like her birthday. The woman has physical features that can make men's mind go blank, perhaps due to her buttocks or overall beauty, leaving men wondering where she got them from.

The singer asserts that a woman's physical traits are strongly influenced by her mother's, such that if her mother is fine, pretty, sexy or hot, she is likely to be just like her mother. Conversely, if her mother is ugly, she is likely to be ugly too. The repetition of these statements reinforces the strong link between a woman's physical appearance and her mother's.


If you pretty, make some noise. If you pretty, make some noise. If you pretty, make some noise. Make some noise, make some noise.
The singer encourages women who consider themselves pretty to make some noise, implying that their beauty is worth celebrating and acknowledging. The repetition of this section emphasizes the importance placed on physical beauty in the song.
