context_page_description: "Like This" is a song by American singer Kelly Rowland, featuring vocals by rapper Eve. Recorded late into the production of Rowland's second solo album Ms. Kelly, the song was released on March 13, 2007 as the lead single from the album. The artists co-wrote the song with its producers Sean Garrett, Polow da Don, Blac Elvis, and Jason Perry, with additional production from S-Dot. "Like This" is a R&B song, with its lyrics referring to a woman growing out of a past relationship.
  The song received generally positive critical reviews. Upon its release, the song became Rowland's highest-charting solo success since her 2002 single "Stole", reaching the top-ten in Ireland and the United Kingdom, as well as the top-twenty in Australia and New Zealand and number 30 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. In addition, it became Rowland's first single to peak at the top position on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. An accompanying music video was directed by Mike Ruiz and filmed in the Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles, California in mid-March 2007.
context_section_description: While Columbia Records intended to release "Work" as Ms. Kelly's lead single at a particular time, "Like This" eventually replaced the album's original lead single "Gotsta Go", a collaboration with rapper Da Brat. On February 13, 2007 a ninety-second clip of the song leaked onto the internet, and by February 16 a full low quality preview had leaked. First release stateside, "Like This" debuted at number ninety-six on the US Billboard Hot 100 issue dated March 31, 2007. Although the song fell off the chart the following week, it re-entered at number ninety-eight the following week. It eventually peaked at number thirty on the Billboard Hot 100 and at number seven on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. In addition, the song peaked on top of both the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles Sales chart and the Hot Singles Sales chart as well as the Hot Dance Club Play chart.
  As with Rowland's previous single releases, "Like This" became a larger success outside North America. In the United Kingdom, it debuted at number eighteen on the UK Singles Chart based on digital sales alone, the day before the song's physical release. Once the physical copies of "Like This" were released on June 11, 2007, the song climbed to number four on the UK Singles Chart, and went on to spend four weeks inside the UK top-ten, making it Rowland's second-highest-charting solo single on the chart (not counting her featured role on "Dilemma"). It eventually sold 95,000 copies. In Ireland, "Like This" debuted at number thirty and reached number five in its fourth week on the chart, becoming her third top-ten single in Ireland. In Germany, the song was released on digital formats only and failed to chart on any official singles chart.
