On the single Ikky says, “This is the follow up to ‘She’s the One’ that continues my tribute to the legacy of one South Asian’s greatest gift to music, Soni Pabla. I see ‘I Like You’ as living in the same world as ‘She’s the One’ about meeting that special woman that just has this magical spark that you’re digging and just can’t stop thinking about!”
On working on this song and the importance of his relationship with the late singer, he says, “Soni Pabla was one of the pioneers of Punjabi Pop and was an idol of mine when I was growing up. It was inspiring to see what a global force he was, and I loved the fact that he was from Toronto just like me! My continued love for music and creating feel-good hits, seemed aligned with the unforgettable vocals of the late Soni Pabla. With the support of Sarbjit Saroya, I can keep the legacy of his joy alive.”
