"I Like It Both Ways" is a song by Australian glam rock band Supernaut. The song was released in May 1976 as the debut single from the band's debut studio album, Supernaut (1976).

Musically, "I Like It Both Ways" is a tough glam number, with heavy riffing throughout while the lyrics became a theme of bisexuality.[1]

Recording

Producer Cohen said, "We had trouble getting it down and if you listen to it closely you can hear it go in and out of time, all the time. We must have done twenty takes. Finally I gave up as it wasn't going to get any better."[2]
