Do Something

"Do Something" is the lead single from Macy Gray's debut album, On How Life Is (1999). The song samples OutKast's 1994 song "Git Up, Git Out" and Nice & Smooth's 1989 song "Funky for You", and therefore contained no less than seventeen co-writers including Gray herself.
In the United Kingdom, "Do Something" became Gray's first charting hit on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number fifty-one there, however, it remains her lowest-charting single there to date. "Do Something" failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 but managed to peak at number forty-three on the Hot Dance Singles Sales chart.
"Do Something" was released on two CD formats in the UK. The CD single contained remixes of "Do Something", including collaborators such as Cee-Lo of Goodie Mob along with a non-album track, "Rather Hazy".
"Do Something" was also used in an MTV Europe commercial advertising summer festivals throughout Europe in 1999.
