Summer has officially started and all the bouncy pop tunes and heatwave anthems are starting to make their way to your nearest radio, from the window of that souped-up Peugeot passing you on the road and from the deafening earphones of that teenager on the bus. And, like every year, the battle has commenced in the industry to create a song that that is the definitive sound of the season. It's still early days, but it seems like it will be a tough call this year. However, one track that I am calling a Future Hit is "I Like It" by Mr. Enrique Iglesias and our favourite foul-mouth Cuban rapper, Pitbull.

Iglesias hasn't been around much releasing big tunes; his last offering to us was "Takin' Back My Love" last year, so he's on schedule for anoter track. As for Pitbull, well he's been doing the rounds consistently with stompers like "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)", "Hotel Room Service" and "Shut it Down" with Akon, which despite being one of his worst tracks in my opinion, reached No. 13 in the Irish Singles Chart, and only 33 in the UK.

"I Like It" was produced by the producer-of-the-moment, RedOne, and samples Lionel Richie's "All Night Long". It's got a fresh, summer sound, as as stated, could easily be heard blasting out at ridiculous levels, with it's hot electro dance-pop sound. As for the lyrics, they're nothing to write home about: "Girl please excuse me/If I'm misbehaving, oh/I'm trying keep my hands off/But you're begging me for more/Round round round/Give a low low low/Let the time time pass/'Cause we're never getting old".

Essentially, it's a song that you could easily dance to in a sweaty club on a night out, as well as chill to it with friends. It'll be big, and the track will start to get played here on Irish radio soon, as it is only about to get it's première on Ryan Seacrest's radio show in Los Angeles at time of print.

It's being released today, so you can buy it online as "I Like It" is a digital download only.
