The lyrics of Trouble Maker's song "I Like" talks about a confident girl who knows what she wants and is not afraid to go after it. The first verse starts with the mention of camera lights flashing, 365 like it's automatic, indicating their presence in a club, where they see a girl who knows how to move her body. The singer sees a guy looking at her and admits that she is a bad girl. She further says that she is sorry but that's just the way she is, and the guy is a little to her liking. She clearly states that she is going to take him as she pleases. The chorus talks about the things the DJ is playing and how it makes the girl feel. She wants the guy to tell her what he wants and only wants him to talk to her and look at her.
In the second verse, the girl admits that she is not crazy but a pretty girl who knows what she wants. She wants the guy to slow down and tell her all his desires because she will listen. She then repeats the chorus about turning the music up and only wanting the guy to talk to her. The bridge talks about how the girl and the guy can help each other fulfill their dreams and how they don't need to come out of it unscathed.
