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 Billboards 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".
