"Do It Again" (stylised in all caps) is a song by New Zealand singer Benee featuring Australian singer Mallrat, released through Republic Records on 28 June 2023. The song peaked at number 30 on the New Zealand Hot Singles Chart, and was the official song of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.
Speaking about the song to Stereogum, Benee spoke about the song and said:
Being a small part of this incredible celebration of women’s sport is an absolute dream come true for me. As a keen young football player, I just couldn’t have imagined this! I’ve loved the experience of writing a song which I hope reflects my excitement at having the world’s biggest women’s sports event held on my home turf, and I can’t wait to perform "Do It Again" live with Mallrat at the opening ceremony."
Background
This collaboration was not the first time the pair had made a collaborative song, "Winter" from Benee's debut album Hey U X, was also a track featuring the Australian artist. The pair, from both hosting countries, Australia and New Zealand, performed the song at the ceremony in Auckland's Eden Park,[1] and was the first time the event had been held in the Southern Hemisphere and the first time that hosting the event had been split between two countries.[2]
Critical reception
Megan Armstrong of Uproxx said the track was an "empowered, pulsating anthem [and a] guaranteed summer earworm even outside of its World Cup placement"[3] and FIFA said the track is a "vibrant and infectious anthem that promises to captivate fans".[4]
