“Do The Thing” by Jordan Corey brings that laid-back West Coast cool, but underneath the smile, there’s a full-body push toward action. Like someone handing you a margarita and gently pointing at your unfinished novel. It is ridiculously satisfying to listen to a song that sounds like sunshine and tells you to get your act together—without sounding preachy.
The track’s got a gorgeous balance. That silky voice? Feels like warm honey over a beat that’s dipped in late-’70s funk and early disco, with a bounce that wouldn’t feel out of place on a Nile Rodgers B-side. The bassline walks around confidently, with a groove that feels like it’s been airlifted from your coolest aunt’s vinyl collection. But what really works here is the ease—Jordan Corey makes it all sound effortless, breezy, unbothered. And that’s exactly the energy she’s bottling up: stop stalling, just do the thing.
Lyrically, this is self-help in platform heels. It’s a manifesto disguised as a poolside bop. “Do The Thing” doesn’t pretend to have it all figured out—it just reminds you that perfection is overrated, and momentum is magic. There’s no fear in failure here, only curiosity and rhythm. It’s the soundtrack to that moment when you finally stop overthinking and hit send, or start painting again, or dance in your kitchen just because the track’s too good not to.
