"Doctor Jones" was the fifth single to be released by the Scandinavian dance-pop group Aqua overall, and the second UK release. The single is their second United Kingdom number one. The follow-up to their most successful song "Barbie Girl" in many places, "Doctor Jones" was a similarly pop-oriented hit which sold well across the globe and ended the assumptions that Aqua would be a one-hit wonder.

"Doctor Jones" was released around the world in a number of months, with the first release being in October 1997. Most of the releases would be in November 1997, with it hitting the charts in Japan, Scandinavia and mainland Europe in that month. December 1997 saw the Australian release achieve a successful chart placing, before the song made its impact in the UK in February of the following year.

The video for "Doctor Jones" implies the song is based around the Indiana Jones character from the film trilogy of the same name, with René Dif playing Jones and rescuing his fellow band members from a stereotypical voodoo tribe. The title logo is written in a similar form to that of the Indiana Jones logo. There is also a shot of airplane's flight path over a map, which is used in the film series. The lyric "Dr. Jones, wake up now" may also be a reference to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom where Short Round implores Indiana Jones to "wake up" after being brainwashed by the blood of Kālī Ma, or during a scene on an airplane when Willie Scott says, "Calling Dr. Jones, wake up!". The video was one of five Aqua-videos directed by Peder Pedersen.

In Japan, "Doctor Jones" was released along with "Lollipop (Candyman)".
