⋆ Producing Credits: Rock Mafia
⋆ Writing/Composing Credits: Antonina Armato, Tim James, Thomas Sturges
ABOUT/MEANING: “Do It Like That” captures the exhilarating rush of being drawn to someone whose presence feels impossible to resist. Everything about the way “you” move, act and interact with the boy seems to have an immediate effect on him, creating the kind of attraction that makes him want more of whatever this person is doing.
The repeated invitation to “do it like that” reflects this fascination. Rather than exploring a complicated emotional relationship, the song revels in chemistry itself - the confidence, excitement and physical attraction that can make another person seem magnetic. Being around them leaves the boy energised and caught up in the moment.
Within The Name Chapter: FREEFALL, the song's placement offers a lighter glimpse of the experiences that can exist within the reality the boys have chosen to embrace. Not every part of growing up needs to provide an answer about who they are becoming; sometimes it also means allowing yourself to experience attraction, excitement and joy simply for what they are.
LYRICS:
You get me so off track, yeah
Been spinnin' for miles
But I think that you like that
Can't deny it
You bringin' my life back, yeah
You doin' it in style
You came with that jet pack
Now we're flyin'
Every time I'm with you, like a time machine
Makin' everybody jealous like you seventeen
Oh God, you the cover of a magazine
CONTEXT/EXPLANATION: “Seventeen” works both as an age associated with youth and as a reference to Seventeen, the American teen magazine - a play reinforced by the following lyric, “you the cover of a magazine.”
Got me feelin' like, "Damn"
Oh my God
Don't know how you do it like that
Yeah, oh my God
Don't know how you do it like that, yeah
Blow my mind
Then somehow you bring it right back
Yeah, oh my God
Don't know how you do it like that, yeah
Some things you can't fake it
Some things you just feel
Got plans we ain't made yet
It's whatever
You throwin' that drink back
You stayin' awhile
You rockin' that fit that's makin' all them strangers smile
Every time I'm with you, like a time machine
Makin' everybody jealous like you seventeen
My God, you the cover of a magazine
Got me feelin' like, "Damn"
Oh my God
Don't know how you do it like that
Yeah, oh my God
Don't know how you do it like that, yeah
Blow my mind
Then somehow you bring it right back
Yeah, oh my God
Don't know how you do it like that, yeah
You sendin' signals, and them waves go far
CONNECTION: The imagery of sending “signals” through waves recalls TXT's recurring use of Morse code, a motif associated with the group since their pre-debut introduction films and the opening of “CROWN.”
Got people dancin' up on top of their cars
You sendin' signals, and them waves go far
Yeah, oh my God
Don't know how you do it like that, yeah
Oh my God
You blowin' my mind like that
Oh my God
The way that you bring it right back
Oh my God
You blowin' my mind like that
Oh my God
The way that you bring it right back
Oh my God
Don't know how you do it like that
Yeah, oh my God
Don't know how you do it like that, yeah
Blow my mind
Then somehow you bring it right back
Yeah, oh my God
Don't know how you do it like that, yeah
You sendin' signals, and them waves go far
Got people dancin' up on top of their cars
You sendin' signals, and them waves go far
Yeah, oh my God
Don't know how you do it like that, yeah
