"Whatever U Like" is a R&B-hip-hop and Promo Single/song written by American singer Nicole Scherzinger, Clifford Harris, Jr., Jamal Jones, and Sean Garrett for Scherzinger's debut solo album, "Her Name Is Nicole" (2009). It features rapper T.I. and moreover contains uncredited vocals by Garrett.

History

Many fans speculated that an early leaked Bryan-Michael Cox-produced song entitled "Steam" would be the first single, but in an April 2007 interview Scherzinger stated that "Steam" wouldn't even be on the album. Later, "Whatever U Like" was confirmed as the first single.

Music video

The video was directed by Paul Hunter and was released on August 20th. The video begins with spotlights hitting a wall, with Scherzinger running from an unidentified person, revealed to be four masked kidnappers. Sean Garrett performs his opening sequence as Scherzinger is captured and concealed within a box, where she performs the first verse and chorus, before escaping the box. Scenes of Scherzinger floating through water (similar to Tamia's video for "Stranger In My House") are interspersed with her dancing before a spotlighted stage, and performing in front of a black background. Throughout the next chorus, Scherzinger is shown walking along a bench covered in steaming stones. During T.I.'s rap, the two are concealed in the box, with Scherzinger seductively crawling all over him. Next Scherzinger is shown covered in mud before standing beneath a shower washing it off. Different shots of the singer from the previous scenes are spliced together throughout the next chorus. Scherzinger is now shown in a black leather outfit during Sean Garrett's verse dancing before a backdrop, with spotlights shining on her, spliced with scenes of the producer rapping, her former assailants now dance in front of her. The video ends with Scherzinger leaving the backdrop. the song is prduced by polow da don
