"Like to Get to Know You Well" is a song by the English synth-pop musician Howard Jones released as a single in 1984. It reached number 4 on the UK singles chart, and was subsequently included on his remix album The 12″ Album (1984). It was later included as a bonus track on CD versions of Jones' second studio album, Dream into Action (1985).
The sleeve carried the motto "Dedicated to the original spirit of the Olympic Games" as the single was released at the start of the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. The extended version, subtitled "international remix", features Jones singing in English, German and French.
"Like to Get to Know You Well" was featured in the John Cusack film Better Off Dead (1985), as well as the action-adventure game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories (2006) on the in-game radio station Wave 103.
