"Do It Again" is a song by American rapper NLE Choppa, released on October 7, 2022 as the third single from his second studio album Cottonwood 2 (2023). It features American rapper 2Rare and was produced by Fya Man. The song contains a sample of "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" by Rose Royce.

Background and composition

The song was released shortly after NLE Choppa publicly split with his girlfriend Marissa DaNae.[1] Over a "punchy, fast-paced" drum beat, Choppa boasts about moving on from the relationship and what his ex has lost.[1][2]

Critical reception

Lamar Banks of HotNewHipHop gave the song a "Hottttt" rating.[1] Alex Gonzalez of Uproxx described Choppa as "delivering fiery bars" and wrote that 2Rare "shows off his vocal stylings, singing and rapping humorous one-liners on his verse", also praising his line "Bitch, you like a squirrel, you just like Sandy, bitch, get off my nuts" as one of the standout lines in the song.[2]

Music video

The music video was directed by NLE Choppa himself.[1] It sees the two artists throwing a neighborhood party, where they are seen dancing,[2][3] grilling wings, smashing cakes, and joined by twerking women.[1][2]
