“Doing It” is the seventh track of Charli XCX’s sophomore album, Sucker. Excluding the title track, it’s the first song on the tracklist that wasn’t a pre-released single.
It’s a guitar-tinged song about reuniting with a lover and dancing in more ways than one.
From Charli XCX herself:
“Doing It”...
[Chorus]
We're staying all night
We never slow down
I think we better do it like we're doing it now
It's been a long time
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
[Verse 1]
Waited so long just to be here
Now we're bringing this back to life
Yeah, we're bringing this back to life
Want you to know how I miss ya
Now I got you right by my side
Yeah, I got you right by my side
[Pre-Chorus]
Locked inside my veins you're in my blood, in my blood
And we're united forevermore
[Chorus]
We're staying all night
We never slow down
I think we better do it like we're doing it now
It's been a long time
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
[Hook]
Keep doing it like we're doing it
Doing it like we're doing it
[Verse 2]
Friends like a team in a circle
We're together we're so alive
Yeah, together we're so alive
Joy like a jewel let it sparkle
Know that I got your back for life
Yeah, I got your back for life
[Pre-Chorus]
Locked inside my veins you're in my blood, in my blood
And we're united forevermore
[Chorus]
We're staying all night
We never slow down
I think we better do it like we're doing it now
It's been a long time
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
[Hook]
Keep doing it like we're doing it
Doing it like we're doing it
Keep doing it like we're doing it
Doing it like we're doing it
[Bridge]
All night long
We dancing to this song
We doing it, we going on and on, on and on
All night long
We dancing to this song
We doing it, we going on and on, on and on
[Chorus]
We're staying all night
We never slow down
I think we better do it like we're doing it now
It's been a long time
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
[Hook - Variation] (x2)
(All night long we dancing to this song)
Keep doing it like we're doing it
Doing it like we're doing it
[Chorus]
We're staying all night
We never slow down
I think we better do it like we're doing it now
It's been a long time
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
