Deep Shah of Color X Studios praised the duo's musical sound and smooth R&B style, saying that the song serves as "another sublime slice of the pair's sultry and silky smooth R&B". In his review for Entertainment Weekly, Eli Enis declared the song as the duo's "most danceable track yet", and said it is "something you can stripper-kick around the house to while still enjoying their uniquely complex harmonies." HotNewHipHop labeled the song as having a "smooth, easy-going nature". Mike Wass of Idolator described the song as a "party jam" and a "feel-good bop". Uproxx's Carolyn Droke wrote: "The duo's mesmerizing harmonization melts over a fluttering backbeat". 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".
Do It
Chloe x Halle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, I beat my face
Moving fast 'cause the Uber on the way
Taking pictures, make sure you can't see no lace
That wig secure like the money in a safe
I look like bae
Now I'm on the way
When I'm outside please don't make me wait
The party starting when we pull up to the gate
Girl, we so late
I'm just with the crew
We ain't out here looking for boo
'Cause some nights be better with you
It's a homies only kind of mood
And tonight we on a hundred
One hundred
No drama, no baby mamas, keepin' it cute
Ooh, ooh
That's just what I do, do, do
And that's just how we do it, do it, do it
Yeah, that's just how we do it, do it, do it
You liking what I do?
Do you know how to keep it cool? Ooh, ooh
And that's just how we do it
Yeah, that's just how we do it
And you could do it too, ooh, ooh, ooh
No complaints
Left the heels at home, I'm on my sneaker game (sneaker game)
He say where you from
Tell him outer space (outer space)
'Cause a bag the only thing I'm tryna chase
I'm M.I.A. (M.I.A.)
Just tell the DJ
Press play, rewind
Keep it on repeat
Tiptoe 'round a hater, I'm light on my feet
That's how you do it
Keep stunting on your enemies
Good vibes only
I'm just with the crew
We ain't out here looking for boo
'Cause some nights be better with you
It's a homies only kind of mood
And tonight we on a hundred
One hundred
No drama, no baby mamas, keepin' it cute
Ooh, ooh
That's just what I do, do, do
And that's just how we do it, do it, do it
Yeah, that's just how we do it, do it, do it
You liking what I do?
Do you know how to keep it cool? Ooh, ooh
And that's just how we do it
Yeah, that's just how we do it
And you could do it too, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
That's just what I do, do, do
