## Background

Guetta said of the song: "When we hit the studio we were already working on several tracks. After we saw the great response on 'So Far Away' we thought f*** it, we will release another track together straight away." Garrix added: "David is a legend. I have a lot of respect for him as an artist and I'm very happy we were able to release another track together with the amazing Brooks who I have worked with on other records before. I think he's one of the most talented producers out there."

## Release and promotion

Garrix originally premiered the song during his TimeOut72 Festival set in Goa, India. On 14 February 2018, Guetta and Brooks released a teaser of the song on social media, revealing its release date. A remix contest for the song was held in association with the app Soonvibes, winners were selected as part of the official remixes.

## Composition

"Like I Do" is a big room house and EDM track, with vocals provided by Talay Riley. It blends elements from future bounce and pop with "heavy bass and a dancefloor-ready beat". On the opening lines, the voice rises "over shimmering synths and a fizzing production", before building up into "an earworm-worthy chorus". According to Billboard's Kat Bein, the song is "a stomping mix of horns and bass that's funky".

## Critical reception

In a positive review, a Your EDM contributor regarded the song as "a wonderfully melodic new release that's a surefire radio hit with an EDM-friendly drop that Garrix and Brooks fans will both appreciate". Mike Nied of Idolator called the collaboration "refreshing", deeming the song "a blending of all their respective sounds".
