editYG and Ty Dolla Sign were friends before working on "Do It", although the song marked the rapper's first appearance on an album by Kanye West.[1] The song also includes a posthumous appearance from Nipsey Hussle on the intro, which is sampled from his leaked collaboration "I Just Wanna Know" with Ty Dolla Sign and fellow rapper Cardi B.[2][3] West and Ty Dolla Sign recorded "Do It" during the sessions for Vultures 1 in Duabi, transforming an empty building of a hotel complex into temporary studios.[4] The performers brought out YG to perform his verse from the song for the album's first listening event at the United Center in Chicago on February 8, 2024.[5]
After the intro from Nipsey Hussle, "Do It" moves into a party anthem. The song incorporates a West Coast bounce and soaring string orchestration.[3] Ty Dolla Sign delivers a hook melody, establishing the themes of pleasure and lust. West performs next, followed by YG's verse at the end.[3]
