"Do It Like You" is a song by American rapper Diggy Simmons. It was released as the second single off his debut album Unexpected Arrival (2011) on October 24, 2011. It features American R&B singer Jeremih singing the chorus. It was co-written by both artists, along with John Maultsby, McGee, Dexter Wansel and Andrew "Pop" Wansel, who co-produced the song with producer Oak. The song uses a sample of "Theme From the Planets" by Dexter Wansel.

The song was Diggy's first solo appearance on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 80. It also peaked at number 11 on both the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts. A music video directed by Phil the God was created for the single that featured both Diggy and Jeremih with their respective girlfriends at a carnival.

"Do It Like You" was written by Diggy Simmons, Jeremih Felton, John Maultsby, McGee, Andrew "Pop" Wansel (who co-produced the song with producer Oak) and Dexter Wansel, whose song "Theme From the Planets" was used as a sample.Billboard editor Jon Blistein described the song as having "sugar-rushed synths and bubblegum snap snares." In an interview with music channel Fuse, he said that his inspiration for the song was about a girl being true to herself and not emulating someone else to attract a guy.

A video (directed by frequent collaborator Phil the God) was created for the single that took place in California. The video features both Diggy and Jeremih hanging out with friends when they spot a group of girls walking past them. Diggy is attracted to one of them and they have a date at a carnival. The video premiered on BET's 106 & Park on December 6, 2011.
