About Do You...

"Do You..." is a song by American R&B recording artist Miguel. It was released on September 18, 2012, as the second single from his 2012 album Kaleidoscope Dream. It was written by producer Jerry Duplessis, co-producer Arden Altino, guitarist Paul Pesco, and Miguel, who recorded the song at Platinum Sound Recording Studios in New York City. "Do You..." is a love song built around gentle guitar strumming and a playful rhythm section. Its lyrics pose flirtatious, rhetorical questions and feature both metaphorical and literal references to narcotics. As a single, "Do You..." charted for eight weeks on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, peaking at number 32. It was well received by music critics, who praised Miguel's playful delivery and cited it as a highlight on Kaleidoscope Dream. A music video for the song was filmed in Las Vegas and showed Miguel and his girlfriend Nazanin Mandi on an intimate date. He performed "Do You..." on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and incorporated elements of Bob Marley's "Stir It Up" into the song in his other concert performances.

Do you like drugs?
Have you ever felt alone?
Do you still believe in love?

Well do you like drugs, do you like drugs
Yeah, well me too, me too (me too babe) me too, me too
Do you like love, do you like love?
Yeah well me too, me too
It’s what we gonna do

What about matinee movies, morning secrets
Midnight summers, swim private beaches
Rock, paper, scissors, wait best out of 3
My mama said the greatest things in life are free
What about lust, what about trust
What about love? She said, you know that I do
Oh you do baby, hope you do now
You do, do, do, do

Do you like drugs, do you like drugs
Yeah, well me too, me too, me too, me too
Do you like love, do you like love?
Yeah well me too, me too
It’s what we gonna do

Tonight, so let’s dance a little harder
'Till I feel like I know ('Till I feel like I know) all the things

Do you like drugs, do you like drugs
Yeah, well me too, me too, me too, me too
Do you like hugs, do you like love? (Feel like we have so much in common now)
Yeah well me too, me too (Right about now baby)
It’s what we gonna do

It’s you and me yeah tonight
You and me tonight (You and me tonight)
You and me tonight (You and me tonight)
You and me tonight (You and me tonight)
You and me yeah, tonight (You and me tonight)
You and me tonight (You and me tonight)
Oh feel like I’ve known you for so long right about now baby
Yeah, yeah, I wanna do you like drugs tonight
Wanna do you like drugs
