"Doing It" is a song by English singer Charli XCX from her second studio album, Sucker (2014). An alternative version of the song featuring English singer Rita Ora was released on 3 February 2015 as the album's third single. The single peaked at number eight on the UK Singles Chart. "Doing It" was named "Best New Track" the week of its release by Pitchfork.^[3]

Charli is seen performing a snippet of the song in a commercial for Pepsi's "Out of the Blue" music campaign, which aired during the 57th Annual Grammy Awards, on 8 February 2015.^[4] Ahead of the release of her 2022 album Crash, Consequence of Sound ranked "Doing It" as Charli's fourth best song.^[5]

Cook of PC Music contributed an official remix.^[7] This was her first collaboration with the English producer, who would later go on to be her creative producer for future projects.

Music video

The video depicts Charli and Ora arriving at a gas station and stealing several items before the gas station cashier could stop them. They then leave the gas station with the stolen items and get chased by the police. Eventually, they escape and stop at a payphone. Later, they are found at a party where the police find them. These scenes are intercut with Charli and Ora singing into microphones with lights surrounding them.^[10]
