"I Guess I Like It Like That" is a 1991 promotional single written by Australian singer-songwriter Kylie Minogue and British producers Mike Stock and Pete Waterman for Minogue's fourth album Let's Get to It. The song samples Freestyle Orchestra's "Keep On Pumping It Up" and a Salt-N-Pepa song "I Like It Like That".

"If You Were with Me Now" and "I Guess I Like It Like That" were released in Australia in October 1991. However "If You Were with Me Now" was released as a CD and cassette single, while "I Guess I Like It Like That" was released as the A-side of the 12-inch record. There is no 12-inch Australian record of "If You Were with Me Now".

"I Guess I Like It like That" was included in an edited as well as an extended version on the "If You Were with Me Now" CD single. However the CD track listing is incorrect. The third track is listed as "If You Were with Me Now - Extended", however this is actually "I Guess I Like It like That - Extended". The extended version is also known as the LP version.

Critical reception

Nathan Wood from Foxtel's MaxTV called the song "surprising", stated: "[the song] signaled Kylie's change from a pop princess to an artist with diverse, genre-pushing tastes, and paved the way for her extensive exploration into the world of dance music that would come later."^[3] Digital Spy's Nick Levine claimed he "has even fallen for the 2 Unlimited sample."^[1]

However, Chris True from Allmusic criticized the stadium keyboard part that lays the foundation of the song, called it one of album's "noticeable missteps."^[4] Nick Griffiths from Select called the song "impressive but blatant clubdom."^[5]

Kylie performed the song on the following concert tours:

Let's Get to It Tour
Showgirl: The Greatest Hits Tour (excerpt during the "Smiley Kylie Medley")
