"Do It Again" is a song by American singer Pia Mia featuring fellow American singer Chris Brown and American rapper Tyga. It was released on May 4, 2015, through Wolfpack and Interscope Records. Mia recorded "Do It Again" in 2013, when she decided to sample J Boog's 2011 song "Let's Do It Again" after attending his concert in Guam. Brown and Tyga asked Mia to be included on the song when it was played in a studio session in 2014. It was written by Mia and Tyga alongside George Veikoso, Marc Griffin, and producer Nic Nac (J Boog received a writing credit for the sampling of "Let's Do It Again"). "Do It Again" is a pop and R&B song, with a mix of hip hop and electronic dance music genres. The lyrics include references to Guamanian culture such as Two Lovers Point. Music critics described it as a "summer song".

Background and development
Pia Mia saw her first concert in January 2011, when reggae artist J Boog performed in Guam.[1] She then recorded "Do It Again" with Marc Griffin and producer Nic Nac in 2013,[2] after being inspired by J Boog's concert.[3] In 2014, after the song finished production, Mia walked into a studio session with Nic Nac, Chris Brown and Tyga, when "Do It Again" was played. Brown and Tyga were impressed and asked to be included, describing it as "super dope". Mia was touched by their genuine interest in the song and accepted, and she was able to learn from their work ethic in the studio.[4]
"Do It Again" was one of the earliest songs recorded for Mia's debut studio album,[5][6] as recording had concluded before she signed a deal with Interscope Records. Mia constantly fought the label for the song to be released, which she stated "was [her] heart". She eventually left Interscope without releasing a studio album, explaining that the songs released during her time at the label were primarily chosen by the executives.[7]
In September 2014, British radio presenter Max announced on Twitter that Mia had enlisted Brown and Tyga to appear on "Do It Again".[8] The song was released on digital download and streaming formats on May 4, 2015, and was distributed to rhythmic radio stations in the United States on May 11, 2015.[9][10] It began rotation on a BBC Radio 1 playlist in the United Kingdom on September 4, 2015,[11] and was sent to radio stations in Italy on October 16, 2015.[12] "Do It Again" was written by Mia, Jerry Afemata, George Veikoso, Griffin, Tyga, and the producer Nic Nac.[13]
