There’s something undeniably magical about a track that grabs you from the first beat and refuses to let go. That’s exactly what happens with “I Like,” the explosive new single from genre-melting maestro Ferris Pier, featuring the sunbeam-in-human-form vocals of Brother Leo. Released on May 9, 2025, “I Like” is the definition of a banger—bold, infectious, and overflowing with vibrant energy that feels like a sonic confetti cannon straight to the soul.
From the opening pulse of synths to the final chorus that begs to be sung at full volume in a sweaty crowd, “I Like” is proof that Ferris Pier has fully cracked the code on what makes modern dance-pop irresistible. Channeling the swagger of Childish Gambino with a dash of Daft Punk’s retro-futurism, the track is playful yet polished, glossy yet grounded. It’s not just a song—it’s a serotonin rush in audio form.
Brother Leo, who first teamed up with Ferris Pier on the genre-bending “Biohacking My Technology,” returns with a vocal performance that can only be described as electric. His voice, equal parts sass and soul, carries the track with ease—smooth in the verses, soaring in the chorus, and always radiating the kind of charisma that can’t be taught. It’s the kind of voice that makes you smile without realizing it, the kind that turns a good song into an instant favorite.
“I Like” feels like the ultimate mood booster, the kind of song that makes you dance in the kitchen, roll down the windows, or text your best friend just to say “you have to hear this.” Ferris Pier’s production is crisp and textured, layering energetic synths, thumping beats, and just the right dose of disco flair. There’s something delightfully nostalgic about the groove, yet it’s forward-thinking in its execution—clean, dynamic, and ready for every playlist that needs a boost.
Pier’s musical roots run deep. Raised in Spokane, Washington, he’s a multi-instrumentalist who cut his teeth on jazz before translating that technical finesse into the world of dance music. That background shows up in every carefully placed detail of “I Like”—in the rhythm, the phrasing, the unexpected flourishes that catch your ear on the third or fourth listen and remind you this isn’t cookie-cutter pop. It’s crafted, not churned. Lived-in, not manufactured.
And the world has noticed. With over 86 million streams and counting, Ferris Pier has carved out a unique space in the global music scene. His collaborations with artists like Izzy Bizu, Rhys Lewis, and JUNG have earned him Spotify editorial support and features in American Songwriter, EARMILK, and Magnetic Magazine. Yet despite the accolades, “I Like” feels like a turning point—an anthem not just for summer, but for a sound that refuses to be boxed in.
What sets “I Like” apart, though, isn’t just the immaculate production or the catchy-as-hell hook—it’s the joy. There’s joy in every note, every beat drop, every gleeful lyrical bounce. In a world that’s often heavy, “I Like” is a reminder that music still holds the power to uplift, unite, and yes—make you move.
So whether you’re hearing it on the dance floor, through your headphones, or blaring from car speakers with the windows down, one thing’s for sure: you’re going to like “I Like.” And once you hit play, don’t be surprised if you end up hitting repeat. Ferris Pier and Brother Leo have delivered the anthem we didn’t know we needed—and it’s one we won’t forget anytime soon.
