Background
Korede Bello shared how "Do Like That" was made in an interview with Premium Times. He said he first thought of the idea and melody for the song on a flight to Dubai for Tiwa Savage's wedding in 2014. He saved the melody on his phone and worked on it during the trip, then left it there. Two years later, he found the voice note, reached out to producer Altims in the early morning, and they recorded the track.
Composition and lyrics
"Do Like That" is a blend of Afrobeat and pop that sees Korede Bello singing over an upbeat, rhythmic instrumental. The song departs from the style of his earlier hit "Godwin", and leans for a more dance-oriented sound with catchy hooks and a lively tempo. Its lyrics focus on attraction as he calls out to a love interest. The drums and synths drive the track and support its light, flirty mood. Joey Akan said the song showed Korede Bello finally applying his versatility in a way that worked, calling it "a club single, with catchy phrases, witty lines, and an abundance of humor," and noting that "this time it works." The Fader described it as a "slinky, seductive Afropop anthem, soaked in AutoTune in synth sax."
Music video
The music video for "Do Like That" was released on 23 November 2016. It was shot in London by UK-based video director Konstantin. In the video, Bello arrives at a party, spots a woman, and ends up dancing with her.
