"Do It like a Dude" is the debut single by British singer-songwriter Jessie J. The song was released as the lead single from her debut album, Who You Are. It was released as a download in November 2010 in the United Kingdom with a physical release in January 2011. It peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart and in Scotland too, number eight in New Zealand and Belgium, and number eleven in Ireland. "Do It like a Dude" was awarded Best Song at the 2011 MOBO Awards.

She co-wrote the song with George Astasio and Jason Pebworth, who were former members of Orson and had penned hits for Sugababes ("Easy"), Noisettes ("Never Forget You") and Gabriella Cilmi ("On a Mission"); Jon Shave who is also part of The Invisible Men, but had also been part of Xenomania before; Kyle Abrahams who has also worked with Chipmunk and N-Dubz; and Parker Ighile who wrote Oopsy Daisy, a number 1 hit in the UK. Although it was Jessie's debut single, she had previously written songs for other artists, including the international hit "Party in the U.S.A.". The track was produced by The Invisible Men and Parker & James.

I was writing some songs in the studio, but I was bored with the song I was writing and there were two boys—two producers called Parker and James—and one of them wears [his] trousers ridiculously low. So I just started free styling like a dude, and it was fun. I wanted to write a song that was tongue-in-cheek and a parody of a stereotypical male. But also, I wanted the song to be empowering for girls, but not kind of an "I hate men" song - because I don't, and I don't say that in the song. It's about feeling hardcore.
