promotion...

The song is the fifth North American single from Loose, and was to be officially released to radio on July 24, 2007 (see 2007 in music).[3] Before its release as a single, the track was used as the theme music for the 2007 Juno Awards, hosted by Furtado herself. A remix of the song features a rap by Missy Elliott and was released at the iTunes Store on August 7, 2007. Billboard magazine wrote of the song, "[it] again demonstrates Furtado's striking versatility, with breezy uptempo rhythmic instrumentation alongside a sensual lyric [...] Missy Elliott is stripped onto the single version, with a midsection breakdown . . . amusing, but hardly necessary in scoring yet another essential moment from [Loose]".[2]

music video...

The "Do It" music video was co-directed by Furtado and Aaron A., the documentarian on Furtado's Get Loose Tour. The shoot took place on location in Detroit, one of the stops on the tour.[4] It begins in a women's restroom, in which dancers on Furtado's tour come out of cubicles and are getting ready to go out. Furtado emerges and starts singing in a restroom, and she and the dancers leave the restroom and walk out of the club while Furtado is holding a gnome. Furtado and her dancers walk down the street to Furtado's friend's apartment, and they walk into her bedroom. When in the bedroom, they get dressed and ready to dance for the end of the video. They run down the stairs and tow a car into the studio, where Furtado begins performing choreography with her dancers at the close of the video.

The video was premiered on MuchMusic on July 13, 2007, and on MTV's Total Request Live on August 1, 2007. It debuted on the TRL countdown on August 9 and entered the top ten;[5] it returned to the top ten on August 27, and has peaked at number one for five days and stayed on the countdown for fourteen days. It also reached number one on VH1's VSpot Top 20 Countdown, Furtado's most successful video on that countdown. The video was made available to purchase at the iTunes Store.
