MUMBAI: Today marks the premiere of Like That, the new single from Chinese recording artist, songwriter, producer and actor Kris Wu , out now on Interscope Records with the track going straight to at number one at US iTunes. Like That is the follow up to Wu’s hit song Deserve featuring Travis Scott and his first release since signing an exclusive international recording agreement with Interscope Records / Universal Music Group (UMG) last month.
Produced by FKi first (an Atlanta-based producer/writer known for his work with Migos, 2 Chainz, Post Malone ?and Travis Scott), and co-written by Wu, Like That is built on a sophisticated arrangement of trap drums, seductive melody, and rhythmic dance grooves. Laid-back yet intense, the song perfectly showcases Wu’s signature harmonies and catchy lyrics.
Like That has a chill summertime vibe, it feels dreamy and trippy and takes you to another world. The song is about seeing a beautiful girl across the room and taking a chance on what could happen next,” said Wu.
Wu will soon release a video for Like That, featuring British supermodel and Victoria’s Secret Angel Stella Maxwell. The song is set to appear on his forthcoming debut album, which is due out later this year on Interscope Records.
Last October, Wu became the first-ever Chinese artist to reach number one on the U.S. iTunes Chart, thanks to the smash success of the single Deserve ft. Travis Scott. Along with breaking Top 40 at US Rhythmic radio, Deserve has racked up more than a billion streams globally to date.
