Composition and lyrics

"Hope You Do" is an R&B slow-jam, with Brown's vocal performance blended with an atmospheric and moody instrumental, based on a modified vocal sample of the 1999 R&B song "Where I Wanna Be", by Donell Jones.[2]

In the song Brown plays the role of a guy that just spent his night partying, getting drunk as well, and after this party he talks to a girl that is hopelessly infatuating him, approaching her with a slight sense of foreboding, since the success in courting the woman on whom he laid his eyes on seems to be a high ambition, but being tipsy he finds the nerve of doing it, guaranteeing himself a night of sex, making him hope that she does what he likes the most in the bed.[3]

Music video

"Hope You Do"'s music video was directed by Brown with Daniel CZ, and was released on June 6, 2018.[4]
