Do It Again (Track Commentary)

"Do It Again" was originally about the woman called "Deloris" dying

We left Deloris out in the final stages of writing it

But the sentiment of regret called on

It was about somebody tellin' you

To go out, do things she shouldn't do and just live

There's a big influence on this track, uh

Late 70s early 80s, Nile Rodgers and stuff like that

We're big fans

And, in fact, when we were on the island

We were lucky enough to bump into

By complete faith, Andy Taylor from Duran Duran

He became a fruity friend of ours

And we ended up producing the track with him

Uh, the album with him that he co-produced the whole record

And it was a brilliant time for us

We spent nine months locked in the studio with him in Ibiza

And the great thing about that

Was that he was obviously, majorly influenced by Nile Rodgers when he was younger

And Duran Duran had a big effect on the way they played

And their guitars and recorded

And Niles as she went on to produce some of Duran Duran's stuffs

So what was great about that is

When we were getting influenced by that style of music on this record

We were going through somebody else that have been influenced by that type of music

In their time before getting to the soul

So it was a really cool way of being able to get influenced

And inspired from something but not overcopying it

Nor making it sound too, too similar

Going through like many different forms of it

We were all on the same page

But we were all doing it slightly differently which is really nice
