"Like Glue" is a song by Jamaican dancehall artist Sean Paul, from his second album, Dutty Rock (2002). The song was produced by Tony "CD" Kelly, and written by Kelly and Sean Paul. Lyrics from "Like Glue" were originally intended to be the intro to "Gimme the Light" until Sean Paul expanded it and made it into a full song. Lyrically, the song refers to how Sean Paul does not care what people say and that he has to stick to his girlfriends "like glue".

Following the successful chart performances of "Gimme the Light" and "Get Busy", "Like Glue" was released worldwide on 27 May 2003 as the album's third single. It was distributed through K-Licious Music in Jamaica and through VP and Atlantic Records internationally. The single peaked at number 13 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and achieved success worldwide, becoming a top ten hit in Switzerland, the UK, Canada and Ireland. The song was listed as the 325th best song of the 2000s by Pitchfork.

The single's accompanying music video was directed by Benny Boom. The video earned Paul a Best International Artist Video award at the 2003 MuchMusic Video Awards.
