Music videoedit
The video begins with the girls' father forbidding them to party, have boys over, or stay up late while their parents are out of town. After he leaves, Farrah turns to the camera and says: "Y'all know it's on, right?". The girls then begin a dance routine in front of a silver background spliced with a wild party being hosted at their house. The next day, the parents return to find the party mess and a boy wandering around the house, leaving the girls sighing at being caught.
A tech house[40] rework by Orlando-based DJ and producer Acraze (Charlie Duncker),[42] credited to "Acraze featuring Cherish", was released on August 20, 2021.[43][44] In the United States, it reached number three on the BillboardHot Dance/Electronic Songs chart,[45] and in Australia, it reached number 13 on the ARIA Club Tracks chart.[46] On November 12, the track (as issued by Thrive Music) entered the top 40 of the UK Singles Chart for the first time, arriving at number 36 (up from number 60).[41] On the Official Charts of January 7, 2022, "Do It to It" reached to UK Top 10 for the first time when it climbed up from number 43 to number nine in its tenth week on the chart[47] and reached the Irish Top 3.[48] After dropping as low as number 68 on the UK singles chart,[49] the song re-entered UK Top 40 (on the chart week-ending March 10, 2022) after the release of the official video.[50][47]
