Speaking about the song to Stereogum , Benee spoke about the song and said:

Being a small part of this incredible celebration of women’s sport is an absolute dream come true for me. As a keen young football player, I just couldn’t have imagined this! I’ve loved the experience of writing a song which I hope reflects my excitement at having the world’s biggest women’s sports event held on my home turf, and I can’t wait to perform "Do It Again" live with Mallrat at the opening ceremony."

Background

This collaboration was not the first time the pair had made a collaborative song, "Winter" from Benee's debut album Hey U X , was also a track featuring the Australian artist. The pair, from both hosting countries, Australia and New Zealand, performed the song at the ceremony in Auckland's Eden Park, [1] and was the first time the event had been held in the Southern Hemisphere and the first time that hosting the event had been split between two countries. [2]

Critical reception

Megan Armstrong of Uproxx said the track was an "empowered, pulsating anthem [and a] guaranteed summer earworm even outside of its World Cup placement" [3] and FIFA said the track is a "vibrant and infectious anthem that promises to captivate fans". [4]
