Do You... (Miguel song)

Its lyrics pose flirtatious, rhetorical questions and feature both metaphorical and literal references to narcotics, inspired in part by Miguel's occasional use of MDMA.

It was well received by music critics, who praised Miguel's playful delivery and cited it as a highlight on Kaleidoscope Dream.

A music video for the song was filmed in Las Vegas and showed Miguel and his girlfriend Nazanin Mandi on an intimate date.

[4] "Do You..." is built around gentle guitar strumming and a playful rhythm section, featuring a walking bassline and double-time drums.

Chris Kelly of Fact categorizes it as an atmospheric pop rock song,[1] while Mesfin Fekadu of the Associated Press calls it "a mellow R&B outtake".

"[5] It is then followed by a euphoric vocal reverb that leads to blasting drums,[6] and Miguel asks "Do you like drugs" over a smooth guitar riff.

"[9] He evokes a romantic relationship with simple, imagistic lyrics:[8] "What about matinee movies, pointless secrets / Midnight summer swims, private beaches / Rock, paper, scissors.

"[23] Erin Thompson of Seattle Weekly called it a "fabulous song" and felt that "Miguel's smooth, subtle swagger is so appealing that a line like 'I wanna do you like drugs tonight' comes off as audacious instead of offensive.

[26] Andrew Ryce from Pitchfork Media cited it as a "standout" on the album and commented that it "unfolds in an ethereal cloud of synth, voices streaming like angelic choirs before stumbling into a verse buoyed by its own euphoria.

It juxtaposes tableaus of the Great Basin Desert in Nevada with black-and-white shots of Miguel and his real-life girlfriend, actress and model Nazanin Mandi.

[28] Set in Las Vegas,[29] the video shows them on a date, driving a 1967 Pontiac GTO convertible through the desert, "making out on a pool table, and taking a helicopter trip".

Jerry Duplessis produced and co-wrote the song.
