I like you (A happier song)

In this vibrant hip-hop love song Post Malone and Doja Cat outline their attraction for one another. They enjoy each other's company and both share the same taste for the finer things.
Post sees Doja as somebody who can keep him away from the rock 'n' roll lifestyle.

Hey, I've been thinkin' lately
That I need someone to save me
Now that I'm famous, I got hoes all around me
But I need a good girl, I need someone to ground me

Though Doja already has a man in her life, she encourages him to steal her away from her boyfriend.

Let me know when you're free
'Cause I been tryna hit it all week, babe
Why you actin' all sweet?
I know that you want little ol' me

Post Malone and Doja Cat wrote "I Like You (A Happier Song)" with Posty's regular songwriting collaborator Billy Walsh and his go-to production partner Louis Bell. Californian producer Jasper Harris also contributed to the production. Harris contributed to five tracks on Jack Harlow's Come Home the Kids Miss You album, including his "First Class" hit single.
