"Do My Thang" is the eleventh track from Miley Cyrus's 4th studio album Bangerz.
It is a hip hop and EDM song, the track is notable for being one of the most lyrically explicit tracks on the album.
Background and Composition[]
"Do My Thang" is predominantly a mixture of hip hop music and EDM (Electronic Dance Music). It follows the standard pop-influenced EDM sound, with escalations, roaring synths, and inaudible vocal remarks, during the bridge before the verses, the song breaks down into a hip hop and trap influenced sound, with a buzzing sound, off-rhythm 808 trap snares, sub-bass and tin claps. The respective genres eventually converge, as Cyrus raps along. The second verse sees Cyrus rapping very explicit lyrics, as she addresses her worriers. The song reaches it's height before falling down with a trap-influenced downfall, where we hear Cyrus moan, and the song becomes a minimal hip hop song, ending it with nothing but a thick bass, occasional tin claps and a roaring siren at the end.
Lyrics[]
[Chorus]
Every single night and every single day
I'ma do my thing, I'ma do my thang
So don't you worry about me, I'ma be okay
'Cause I'ma do my thang, I'ma do my thang
And I, I'ma-I'ma-I'ma do my thang
And I, I'ma-I'ma-I'ma do my
I'ma do my thang
I'ma do my thang
I'ma do my thang
[Verse 1]
Bang bang
I'ma shoot 'em down, baby
Look at me
I'm high up off the ground, baby
Oh shit
Pass that shit around, baby
That shit true
But I don't hear a sound
[Refrain 1]
I'm a Southern belle
Crazier than hell
Getting wild up in here, getting live up in here
Burning up, up in here
Turnt up, up in here
We tear the roof up, now we up out of here
[Pre-Chorus]
We do it, we do it
We don't give a fuck
Only thing we think about is turnin' up, turnin' up
We do it, we do it
We do it all the way live
So, everybody hands to the sky, 'cause
[Chorus]
Every single night and every single day
I'ma do my thing, I'ma do my thang
So don't you worry about me, I'ma be okay
'Cause I'ma do my thang, I'ma do my thang
And I, I'ma-I'ma-I'ma do my thang
And I, I'ma-I'ma-I'ma do my
I'ma do my thang
I'ma do my thang
I'ma do my thang
[Verse 2]
Bang, bitch!
You think I'm strange, bitch?
It's bananas, like a fuckin' 'rangutan, bitch
Don't worry 'bout me
I got it all arranged, bitch
Mind your business
Stay in your lane, bitch
[Refrain 2]
Oh, yeah
I'm a Southern belle
I told ya'll once before I get crazier than hell
Get wild up in here, get live up in here
Turnt up, up in here
Burning up, up in here
[Pre-Chorus]
We do it, we do it
We don't give a fuck
Only thing we think about is turnin' up, turnin' up
We do it, we do it
We do it all the way live
So, everybody hands to the sky, 'cause
[Chorus]
Every single night and every single day
I'ma do my thing, I'ma do my thang
So don't you worry about me, I'ma be okay
'Cause I'ma do my thang, I'ma do my thang
And I, I'ma-I'ma-I'ma do my thang
And I, I'ma-I'ma-I'ma do my
