Background
editSpeaking about the song to Stereogum, Benee spoke about the song's conception, saying:
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."[1]
Benee and Mallrat had previously collaborated on "Winter" in 2020, from the former's debut album, Hey U X.[2] The pair, hailing from both hosting countries—Australia and New Zealand—performed the song at the opening ceremony at Auckland's Eden Park, on 20 July 2023.[3]
