The chorus of the song includes the lines "We're gonna rock that sound/Just like before!" This could suggest that the singer is seeking something familiar and comfortable, but also wants to push the boundaries and create something new.
Overall, the lyrics of How Do You Do convey a sense of restlessness and an insatiable desire for something more exciting and fulfilling.
