The central theme of Zumjay's "Do or Don't" is the pursuit of love and sexual desire. The song tells a story of Zumjay meeting different women in different locations, and expressing his interest in them. However, he soon realizes that many of these women are hesitant or unsure about engaging in a romantic or sexual relationship with him. Zumjay confronts them, asking them to be honest and tell him whether they are willing to take a risk and pursue a relationship with him or not.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "tell me if you do or you don't, and if you don't, please baby tell me if you will or you won't." The repetition of this phrase emphasizes the importance of honesty in relationships and the necessity of clear communication between partners. Zumjay emphasizes that he wants his partners to make a clear decision about whether they are willing to pursue a relationship with him or not, rather than stringing him along or giving vague responses.
Overall, Zumjay's "Do or Don't" can be seen as an exploration of the challenges and uncertainties of pursuing romantic and sexual relationships. Through his lyrics, Zumjay highlights the importance of honesty and clear communication in navigating these challenges.
