Upon announcement, vocalist Jackson Van Issum said: "Writing it was a way to make sense of all the craziness life throws at you, but it's also about not taking yourself too seriously and enjoying the ride. That's what Beddy Rays is all about." [6]

The album will be supported by an Australian tour, commencing in Melbourne on 1 August 2025. [7]

James MacKinnon from Kerrang! said "Do What You Wanna touches on losing loved ones, alienation and self-destructive patterns. It finds Beddy Rays, whose members have been mates since the school playground, attempting to face up to some of life's hard truths without losing their mischievous side." [8]

Jonah Taylor from The Live Wire said the group sound "better than ever" saying "In this latest record, Jacko, Brad, Benny and Lewy tackle themes of mateship, mental health, and self-discovery with a sincerity that feels both genuine and down-to-earth. The overall message emphasises that being surrounded by the people and places you love is the remedy for life's struggles." [9]
