"Remix (I Like The)" is a song by American pop group New Kids on the Block from their sixth studio album, 10.
[1] "Remix (I Like The)" did not enter the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, becoming their first lead single to fail charting since "Be My Girl" (1986).
It tells the story of "lonely and awkward wallflower" SunnyD, (played by Artemis Pebdani) who blossoms after hearing new music by house band NKOTB at a dance party.
In her review Jessica Sager wrote, "The song sounds like an adult contemporary answer to The Wanted mixed with Bruno Mars‘ ‘Locked Out of Heaven.’ It has a danceable beat like many of the British bad boys’ tracks, but is stripped down and raw enough to pass for Mars’ latest radio smash as well.
"[2] Carl Williott of Idolator commended the song's chorus, but criticized its "liberal use of Auto-Tune" and compared Donnie Wahlberg's vocals to Chad Kroeger.
