Do It Again is an extended play (EP) by Norwegian electronic music duo Röyksopp and Swedish singer-songwriter Robyn, released on 23 May 2014 by Dog Triumph. The extended play coincides with Röyksopp and Robyn's joint tour, the Röyksopp & Robyn Do It Again Tour 2014, featuring shows in Europe and North America. Following her Body Talk Tour, Robyn travelled to Bergen, Norway, where she began working on new music with Röyksopp in early 2013, having previously collaborated with the duo on the songs "The Girl and the Robot" (2009) and "None of Dem" (2010).
The extended play was met with generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised its music as "flawlessly-produced" and "adventurous". Do It Again reached number three in Norway and number 20 in the United Kingdom, while becoming the first number-one album on Billboard's Dance/Electronic Albums chart for both artists. It was preceded by the singles "Do It Again" and "Sayit", the former of which attained moderate success on the charts. The EP was nominated for the 2015 Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Album.
"We didn't have any master plan for what we were doing. Sounding a bit pretentious, this was a free space without any master plan or blueprint for all three of us. We didn't have any plan other than to hang out, be together and make some music. And we kept it very much between the three of us, without including too many people in terms of labels and management and so on. Which gives you a certain freedom and flexibility. So that was the only sort of thing that we had; have fun, let's have no inhibitions, no limitations and do whatever we want to do, and that's why we made a 10-minute track with saxophone."
Röyksopp and Robyn first collaborated in 2009 on the song "The Girl and the Robot", which was released as a single from Röyksopp's third studio album, Junior. The two artists collaborated again in 2010 on "None of Dem", a track from Robyn's fifth studio album, Body Talk Pt. 1. On 9 December 2013, Röyksopp and Robyn announced plans to embark on a joint tour titled the Röyksopp & Robyn Do It Again Tour 2014, which would include dates across Europe and North America.
