"Can I Have It like That" is the debut single from Pharrell's debut album, In My Mind. The single features Gwen Stefani, and debuted in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada at the end of October 2005.

The song was composed of scientific sounding drums and synthesizers. A rock remix of the song featured Travis Barker playing the drums and Pharrell playing the guitar.

The music video for the song was released in the Autumn of 2005 and was directed by Paul Hunter.

Gwen Stefani's vocals (which consist of a single sample of her saying "you got it like that") were recorded during a recording of a new song for her second solo album in 2005.

The single was fairly successful in Europe. It was released on October 31, 2005 in the United Kingdom, and debuted and peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart, becoming his biggest hit to date there. The song peaked inside of the top thirty in Finland, Denmark, Norway, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. It also charted in the top 60 in Austria, Sweden, Belgium, and Germany. Its peak was #78 in France.

The single also missed the top 20 in Australia, peaking at #22 and peaked at #18 in New Zealand.

In the U.S. the single didn't perform nearly as well as his debut single "Frontin'", with "Can I Have It like That" only managing to make #48 there. In Canada, the single hardly had any impact peaking at #99 on the BDS Airplay chart.
