Perez first recorded the song in 2013. She decided to remake J Boog's song "Let's Do It Again" after seeing one of his shows in Guam. Later, during a studio session with Nic Nac, Brown and Tyga heard the track and asked Perez if they could be featured on it. The song received positive reviews from music critics. An accompanying music video was shot at a beach in Malibu. It was released on June 26, 2015.
Background
Pia Mia saw her first concert at age 16 when J Boog performed in Guam. She immediately loved his song "Let's Do It Again" and was inspired to remake the song with a pop spin to it and "pay tribute" to him. She then recorded it later that year in 2013 with producer Nic Nac. A while after the song was complete, Mia was in a studio session with Chris Brown and Tyga when Nac played "Do It Again". Both artists liked the song and asked if they could be on it.

The music video for "Do It Again" was filmed on June 3, 2015 in Malibu, California. It was released on June 26, 2015.
