"Do It" is a song by American duo Chloe x Halle, released on May 14, 2020, as the second[1] single from their second studio album Ungodly Hour (2020). It was written by Chloe, Halle, and Victoria Monét, as well as Vincent van den Ende and Scott Storch, who handled the production. An accompanying music video directed by C Prinz was released on May 15, 2020. In the video, the sisters perform coordinated choreography while wearing a number of glittering outfits. The duo also created a dance challenge for the song on the popular video sharing app TikTok in 2020. A remix of the song with Doja Cat featuring City Girls and Latto was released on September 4, 2020.

Background and composition

[edit]

"Do It" was written by Chloe and Halle Bailey, Victoria Monét, Scott Storch, Avedon and Anton Kuehl-Joergensen. The song was produced by Storch, with co-production by Avedon and Asoteric.[4] The song's main concept is about getting dressed up and partying with your friends.[5] According to the duo, "Do It" is meant to send a positive and uplifting message amid the current circumstances of the world. "During this time, music brings a lot of healing," Chloe x Halle said, per a press release. They further elaborated: "We hope this song inspires someone to get up and dance, shake all the stress and anxiety away, and to 'Do It' as the song says. We felt so good writing a song that will make people wanna bop to it and lift their spirits."[6]

"Do It" is a song set in common time with an energy-filled tempo of 83 beats per minute.[7][8] The song is written in the key of F minor.[7] A preview video of the duo singing the chorus of "Do It" was uploaded via TikTok on May 12, 2020.[9]

Droke highlighted the lyrics "I beat my face / Moving fast 'cause the Uber on the way / Taking pictures make sure you can't see no lace", which the duo "croon at the single's hook".[16]

At midnight on September 4, 2020, a remix of "Do It" featuring American rappers Doja Cat, City Girls, and Latto was released with no official prior announcement.[46][47][48] However, its imminent release was hinted at by the collaborators over social media within hours before its release.[49]

Composition and lyrics

[edit]

The "Do It" remix includes new verses from all members on the track, with Clash referring to the song as being "torn to pieces and re-assembled by Doja Cat, City Girls and Mulatto."[50] The artists are included in the intro of the song, using their taglines, such as City Girls' "Period" and Latto's nickname-turned tag "Big Latto". Doja Cat starts the song with her verse after leading the intro and the song transitions into Chloe's first verse from the original song. The song goes into the pre-chorus with added ad-libs from Doja Cat and original chorus before both City Girls take turns rapping their verses. After the second chorus, Latto proceeds to rap her verse which leads into the final chorus and new additional verses from both Chloe and Halle.

Critical reception

[edit]

The remix was mostly met with positive reception, however Yung Miami (of City Girls) received backlash from fans online for her verse, which Chris Murphy of Vulture described as "less than her best effort".[51] Yung Miami responded with humour to the criticism, tweeting, "That's wrong y'all said I ruined the song", and telling fans, "Maybe it'll grow on y'all".[52] Jason Lipshutz of Billboard listed the song as among the most essential releases of the week, describing the remix as one that "unites six rising stars", and that it "will be a quietly important moment". He praised "Doja Cat's raucous energy, City Girls' melodic flow and Latto's confident drawl", while reminding readers to not "overlook the classy vibe Chloe x Halle carried over from the original".[53]
