Background

While Eagleson did not write the song, he stated that it "deeply resonates" with him, and that he felt as though it was written about him. [4] Eagleson stated that he "grew up always being country and being very true to that even though a lot of people made fun of that back in the day, but it’s cool now, which is awesome". [5] Eagleson described the writers of the song, Ashley Gorley, Chase McGill, and Matt Jenkins, as "legends", calling it an "added bonus" to be able to record a song of theirs. [6]

In a press release, Jake Worthington remarked that it was an "easy yes" when Eagleson asked him to join on a new version of the song, stating that he was an Eagleson's style of music, which Worthington termed "good ole country music". [7] Eagleson told Beatroute that he was "really excited" to have Worthington on the song, as they shared a similar rural background. [5]

Critical reception

Mary Claire Crabtree of Whiskey Riff opined that Eagleson and Worthington are "two of the smoothest voices in country music", and referred to "Do It Anyway" as a "magical duet" that is a "nod to old-school traditions". [8] Madeleine O'Connell of Country Now stated that Eagleson "couldn't have selected a better duet partner than Worthington", noting how both artist have "built a career on staying true to themselves in their music". [9]

An uncredited review from Country Evolution called "Do It Anyway" described the original solo version as a "classic honky-tonk anthem that showcases Eagleson’s powerful vocals and prowess". [10] The author also spoke positively about the use of the fiddle in the song, while opining that "Eagleson and Worthington’s voices blend seamlessly, creating a rich and harmonious sound that evokes the classic country duets of the 90s". [10]
