A question pertaining to Japanese

Hi! I've been seeing this a lot lately, in Japanese language songs especially, and I've been meaning to ask about it. What does it mean when an i-adjective, like utsukushii, has its end changed from i to ku to ki? ie, utsukushii>utsukushiku>utsukushiki? Thanks in advance for the help:)
