We never slow down
I think we better do it like we're doing it now

Since we've been around
So come on, let's keep doing it like we're doing it
Doing it like we're doing it
And now we're bringing this back to life,

Want you to know how I miss ya
And now I got you right by my side,
Yeah, I got you right by my side
Locked inside my veins you're in my blood, in my blood
And we're united forevermore

The song "Doing It" by Charli XCX is a dance-pop anthem about living in the moment and enjoying life to the fullest. The lyrics suggest that the singer and her friends are staying up all night, not slowing down, and doing things the way they want to. They want to relive and reminisce about the past, hence the line "Waited so long just to be here, And now we're bringing this back to life." The song is about the joy and freedom of being young and reckless with your close friends.
The lines "Locked inside my veins you're in my blood, in my blood, And we're united forevermore" suggest a deeper bond between the singer and her friends, who are like family to her. She's telling her friends that they will always be together, no matter what.
The upbeat tempo and pulsing bassline of "Doing It" create a high-energy, danceable atmosphere that encourages listeners to get up and move. The lyrics celebrate the freedom and joy of youth, urging listeners to live in the moment and enjoy life while they can.

Doing It - The video was very inspired by Thelma & Louise, Natural Born Killers and Barbie. Rita and I went out to the Californian desert and shot in some incredible places with some incredible people. ย I was very inspired by Florida strip clubs, 70s fashion (I'm wearing flares!!!!!) and David Lachapelle. It was so fun working with Rita on this. We had a wild time.
