"You Can Do It" is a single by Ice Cube featuring Mack 10 and Ms. Toi. It appeared on Ice Cube's War & Peace Vol. 2 (The Peace Disc) as well as the soundtracks for the 1999 motion picture Next Friday and the 2001 motion picture Save the Last Dance.
It was re-released in the UK in December 2004 reaching #2 in the UK, making it Ice Cube's highest entry.
The re-released single was done in different mixes for the UK's version. A popular favourite which was requested on the Radio 1 station throughout 2005.
"You Can Do It" was later released on Ice Cube's Greatest Hits and In the Movies compilations.
The radio version censors out all inappropriate language and words normally, but censors the word 'ass' with a sound of a whip cracking and moaning. The instrumental version leaves the whip cracking in effect.
"Do It" is a popsong by Canadian recording artist Nelly Furtado for her third album, Loose (2006). It was produced by Timbaland and Nate "Danja" Hills. It features a prominent influence of 1980s dance-pop music and sexually suggestive lyrics, in which the song's protagonist asks a lover to satisfy her physically.
Alongside a remix featuring rapper Missy Elliott, the song was released as the fifth single from Loose in North America in mid-2007, and Furtado co-directed the accompanying music video. "Do It" reached the top twenty in Canada and was a number-one club hit in the United States, where it became Furtado's lowest peaking single on the Billboard Hot 100; it reached higher positions on charts on mainland Europe.
In January 2007, it was revealed that Timbaland plagiarized the synth line in "Do It" from an earlier track by Finnish demoscener Janne Suni—for more information, see 2007 Timbaland plagiarism controversy.
Furtado has credited the influence of 1980s musicians such as Blondie, Madonna, The Police, Prince and Talking Heads on Loose, saying that the album's creative team "were picking up on some of the more surreal, theatrical elements of '80s music, the stuff that puts you in sort of a dream state. There's a mysterious, after-midnight vibe to this album that's extremely visceral. I want people to escape into the music and indulge their most animalistic impulses." Referring to the sexually suggestive lyrics in "Do It" and other songs on Loose, Furtado cited the influence of what she described as "the assertive female sexuality of '90s hip-hop, from Queen Latifah to MC Lyte, Yo-Yo, Salt-N-Pepa, TLC. They were sexy, smart and creative—strong women in control. That's what I like about the sexual content on Loose: It's very organic."
