Contents

Background and release

Stray Kids announced their second mixtape, marketed as "SKZ It Tape", titled Do It on October 19, 2025, at the group's Dominate: Celebrate encore shows of the Dominate World Tour. They played the black-and-white trailer on screen, featuring the members as present-day divines ( seonin ), and later uploaded it to their social media. [1] The next day, the group posted the mixtape's track list, confirming "Do It" and "Divine" as the dual lead singles. [2] "Do It" was teased through a house-based mashup video, [3] and its instrumentals via the group's social media. [4] [5] JYP Entertainment and Republic Records released "Do It" concurrently with the mixtape on November 21, 2025. [6] The remix EP was released three days after. [7]

Production and composition

Stray Kids' in-house production team 3Racha, consisting of Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han, wrote "Do It" with JBach and Space Primates in a three-day song camp, alongside other six songs—"Chk Chk Boom", "I Like It", and "Stray Kids" from Ate (2024); "U" (featuring Tablo) from Hop (2024); and "Phoenix" from Karma (2025). [8] [9] Musically, "Do It" is a reggaeton-based track with a "relaxed and cool attitude", "addictive" riff, and funky bassline conveying the message "don't hesitate, trust your instincts, and move forward." [10] [11] [12] The trio described the song as a "more mature", "sexier", and "more refined" song than their own Latin-influenced track "Chk Chk Boom". [13]

Music video

Jihoon Shin directed the music video for "Do It". [14] It premiered on November 21, 2025, in conjunction with the release of the mixtape, [15] preceded by a teaser video. [16] Opening with dystopian Seoul with cracking thunder and ominous crows over ruined buildings overgrown with plants, the grayscale visuals show each member of all-black Stray Kids as a modern-day seonin with a cowboy hat appearing on the frame among a group of statue-like frozen figures dressed in white robes around the room. During the first chorus, it switches from grayscale to Technicolor, expressing the group and the white figures as dancers performing choreography together. During the bridge, the video depicts a glimpse of a giant fireball glowing inside the building, which Billboard called it " Harry Potter -like magic", and pink confetti rains on the group in the final chorus. [17] [18]

The "Overdrive version" music video was released on November 24, alongside the remix EP, [19] featuring Stray Kids enjoying a private party at a luxurious resort. [20]

Stray Kids promoted and performed "Do It" on the music programs Music Bank , [21] Show! Music Core , [22] and Inkigayo from November 21 to 23. [23]
