She wrote the song with Brian Kierulf and Josh Schwartz of KNS Productions, who previously worked on her 2007 single "Can't Touch It".

The accompanying music video was directed by Emma Tomelty and features Coulter and her dancers performing choreographed routines.

[6] A digital EP was later released in Japan on 12 December 2012; it features a B-side track titled "Left to Right", a remix of "Do It Like That" and the music video.

[19] In April–May 2014, Coulter was the supporting act for Jason Derulo's Australian leg of his Tattoos World Tour, where she performed "Do It Like That" as part of her set list.

[20] Ninemsn's MusicFix commented that the video "is certainly eye-catching, partly because it's packed with fluoro-bright colours and perfectly-timed dance routines, but also because the Aussie pop darling has no pants on".

[24] The video begins with Coulter and her dancers walking down a street parade, while several men are shown playing drums to the song.

She performs choreographed routines with her dancers, while being surrounded by people who are dressed in bright colours and holding up balloons and flags.

The video then cuts to Coulter singing in front of a brick backdrop, wearing a bright yellow top and colourful skirt.

Towards the end of the video, Coulter and her dancers are dressed in black and performing inside a dance studio in front of a large pink "Ricki-Lee" sign.
