"Do It Again" is a song by the English electronic music duo The Chemical Brothers and is the fifth track on their 2007 studio album We Are the Night. The song also features Ali Love and was released as the first single from that album in early June 2007 (see 2007 in British music). It reached its highest chart position in Italy, where it hit 2. It also made it into the UK Top 20, where it peaked at 12. It was released as a download on the iTunes Store on May 15, 2007. The music video for the song is directed by Michael Haussman and is set in rural Morocco. The song was nominated at the 50th Grammy Awards for "Best Dance Recording" but lost out to Justin Timberlake's "LoveStoned / I Think That She Knows".

Early versions of the song featured a sample of the song "On a Journey" by Elektrik Funk (the line "I sing the funk electric"). At last minute, it was dropped and replaced by "Let's turn this thing electric".

The song contains many similarities, including the same spoken-word phrase "Do it again," to the 1998 dance track called "Do It Again" by DJ duo Razor & Guido.[1]
