The True Meaning Behind 'I Like Dat' By T-Pain & Kehlani
Although T-Pain took inspiration from his 2007 hit "Buy U A Drink," he's taken taking things up a notch. Now, he's not just buying drinks at the club... he's paying bills. "Ooh, ooh-ooh, she don't want the drink, she want the rent paid," T-Pain sings on the chorus. Apparently, the women he encounters now are financially stable, so a few free drinks won't cut it.
"She don't want drinks no morе if you ain't bringin' no dough to the table," he sings elsewhere on the song. "Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, she gon' be like, 'I got it,' pull a thousand dollars out her side pocket." Kehlani, who's featured on the second verse, shares similar sentiments as T-Pain — but her generosity takes place at the strip club.
"Every band I'm throwin' on stage, I got in my name, all that," Kehlani sings. "And I ain't throwin' twenties or tens, I'm out here paying rent and all that." Later in her verse, 'Lani reminds us that she doesn't need to date anyone for money. "Type of girl that got you 'cause I want you, not 'cause I need you." T-Pain and Kehlani's "I Like Dat" video counts over 14 million views on YouTube and, on July 10, the song peaked at No. 10 on Billboard's R&B Digital Song Sales chart — so the T-Pain x Kehlani formula is clearly working. So, is another collaboration on the way?
