Once upon a time, Jason Mraz asserted, “You fckn did it”. Profane, you Geek in the Pink, you! Rick Ross (DJ Khaled is the ‘lead artist) did something too: he “did it for [his] dawgz / oh lawd”! Oh, and what about Mitchell Hope? “Did I mention that I’m in love with you? And did I mention there’s nothin’ I can do”? The keyword between all three songs is D-I-D, did.
Interestingly, none of those three songs appear on 13 Intriguing Songs That DID Something. Oops! There are songs, however, from Anthony Hamilton, Britney Spears, Cloudy June, DJ Khaled, Nicki Minaj, and The Supremes. So, without further do, let’s embrace the did so we can say we “fckn did it” like Jason… or something like that!

1. DJ Khaled, “GOD DID” (Ft. Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, John Legend & Fridayy)
GOD DID // We The Best / Epic // 2022
Rick Ross is true to himself in the first verse, rapping about money (shocker). He also asks for forgiveness, and tells others, “Please, forgive me, God did.” Woo! In the second verse, Lil Wayne is especially good, referencing incarcerated basketball phenom, 🏀 Brittney Griner, and also dropping a vintage, sexed-up bar: “I fucked the world and when I did, I practiced safe sex / I pray more and said less, God did the rest.” As good as Ross and Wayne are, it’s JAY-Z who ‘takes the cake’ and delivers the longest, most epic verse. From the onset, he asks for forgiveness for hustling: “Hov did / Please, Lord forgive me for what the stove did / Nobody touched the billi’ until Hov did.” Jay goes off, asserting “I turned the cocaína into champagne,” brags about the success of his marijuana company, and essentially, reflects on his life, career, and success. Much like his wife, I have no doubt certain lyrics will make clergymen cry foul:
“These ain’t songs, these is hymns ‘cause I’m him
It’s the Psalm 151, this New Testament
The book of Hov (The book of Hov)
Jesus turned water to wine, for Hov, it just took a stove.”
Um… “God, did?” All told, “God Did” is epic. It’s one of the better records DJ Khaled has released.

2. Cloudy June, “if Jesus saw what we did last night”
“If Jesus saw what we did last night” // Cloudy June // 2025
Sex is the modus operandi of “If Jesus saw what we did last night.” No shit, Sherlock! “When you touch me there, it’s a miracle / Biblical affair,” Cloudy June sings in the first verse. Damn! In the second verse, she asserts, “[I] Can’t escape the feelin’ it’s physical / You’re my prophecy, baby.” Yep, that is a big, heaping dose of blasphemy! In the chorus, she describes their body as holy, claiming, “I’m floatin’ like an angel / You brought me down to my knees.” Amen… I mean, SACRILEDGE! Ultimately, “If Jesus saw what we did last night” is fun and stirs the pot. Cloudy June sings beautifully, expressing her sufficiently and unapologetically expressing her desires. Sex-positive, she speaks to being unashamed to be with who you choose and ‘do’ what you choose. Backed by a dark, minor key, sleekly produced backdrop, “Jesus” sounds celestial… in a dark, twisted way.

3. Lynks, “(WHAT DID YOU EXPECT FROM) SEX WITH A STRANGER”
ABOMINATION // Heavenly Recordings / [PIAS] // 2024
“(WHAT DID YOU EXPECT FROM) SEX WITH A STRANGER” features intense, noisy-sounding musical accompaniment. This establishes a high-energy, intense vibe. Lynks’ vocals are unapologetic, often rapped and talked, using a distortion effect at times. He narrativizes an imminent hookup bringing ample personality to the table.“Oh, the wonders of technology when you’re horny / Ordering a man like you’d order a curry,” they sing in the second verse, continuing, “Call me up, babe, I’ll be there in a hurry / I’m free delivery and all I really need is you to fuck my brains out.” Holy cannoli! Lynks, being young and horny, isn’t picky regarding his sexual rendezvous. Grindr overdrive! Even though Lynks is receiving pleasure, the satisfaction or deeper connection is missing, which they highlight in the talk-sung chorus:
“Romance isn’t dead, it’s in a coma
Me? I’m just a dog out, tryna get a boner
I don’t wanna spend my night alone (No)
So, I don’t think about how I’ll feel when it’s over
‘Cause honestly, I’ll probably feel the same
No miracle, no epiphanies
And disappointment always is the danger
But what did you expect from sex with a stranger?”
“(WHAT DID YOU EXPECT FROM) SEX WITH A STRANGER” is a sex-positive song but simultaneously acknowledges the unfulfillment of empty sex.

4. Taylor Swift, “How Did It End?”
THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT: THE ANTHOLOGY // Taylor Swift // 2024
“Come one, come all, it’s happenin’ again
The empathetic hunger descends
We’ll tell no one except all of our friends
But I still don’t know
How did it end?”
But, what is the answer to the question: “How Did It End?” In Swift’s own words: “I still don’t know.”

7. Kevin Atwater, “why did you invite me to your wedding”
“why did you invite me to your wedding” // Kevin Atwater // 2023
The point is that this reconnection has Kevin in his feelings. He penned a relatable song that captures the plight of gay romance. Did he crush on a ‘straight’ guy, hoping there was a chance? That is the question. Atwater has feelings for someone who may or may not reciprocate those feelings in the way he’d hoped – boyfriend and boyfriend. The second verse recalls an incident that speaks to the fact that maybe, the groom-to-be wasn’t so straight…???
“…Caught in the moment
I kissed you and then you got quiet
You could’ve hurt me, it would’ve been easy
… But you took my hand and asked me to dance
To nothing and never brought it up again.”
His friend is one of the nice boys – marriage material. He also could be… you know… In the final chorus, things are confused. Kevin has questions, notes how things have changed, and knows he’d mess things up for his friend/crush and bride-to-be. As much as “I wanna call you with a hand in my pants,” rightfully, Atwater closes the chapter without closing it: “I’ll never know why / Cause I’ll never reply / So you can just stay nice / In the back of my mind.” Atwater drops an honest, thought-provoking gem with “why did you invite me to your wedding”. Atwater sounds radiant, backed by warm, dreamy-sounding production (Hazey Eyes).

9. Britney Spears, “Oops!…I Did It Again”
Oops!… I Did It Again // Zomba // 2000
“Oops, I did it again
I played with your heart
Got lost in the game
Oh, baby, baby
Oops, you think I’m in love
That I’m sent from above
I’m not that innocent.”
PERIOD!

10. Anthony Hamilton, “I Did It For Sho”
The Point Of It All // RCA / JIVE Label Group // 2008
“I did it for sho
All the trips abroad (trips abroad)
Maxed out credit cards (credit cards)
Throwing down to Mr. Chows (Mr. Chows)
I did it for sho
Meant to let you see (let you see)
You just can’t sleep on me (sleep on me)
Another one will come around (around).”
Beyond the chorus, a spoken word third verse is a highlight, including a hip reference to Beyoncé (“People have to go their separate ways and / You know all the talk Beyoncé with ‘to the left, to the left,’ there’s nothing left”). Although underrated, Hamilton rarely, if ever, makes a bad song. On “I Did It For Sho” he definitely ‘did the damn thing for sho!’

11. Nicki Minaj, “Did It On’em”
Pink Friday // Cash Money // 2010
To successfully pull this shitting off, Nicki Minaj tapped Bangladesh to produce the track. As always, he constructs a musical backdrop that kicks ass and takes names. At the time (2010), “Did It On’em” sounded incredibly fresh from its beat to its synths. Minaj matches the energy of the sleek, minor-key joint beyond poop bars. In the first verse, she memorably asserts, “All these bitches is my sons / And I’ma go and get some bibs for ‘em.” Gah-day-um! She adds, “If I had a dick, I would pull it out and piss on ‘em.” Woo! The second verse is a trip too: “This stone is flawless, F1 / I keep shooters up top in the F1 / A lot of bad bitches beggin’ me to F one / But I’ma eat them rap bitches when the chef come.” There is another verse, too, where Nicki continues to eat, no cap. “Did it On’em” is not the top song from Pink Friday but it marks one of the album’s better moments. Minaj is unapologetic az fucc.

13. The Supremes, “Where Did Our Love Go”
Where Did Our Love Go // Motown // 1964
Notably, “Where Did Our Love Go” features the iconic lineup comprised of Diana Ross, Mary Wilson, and Florence Ballard. This would remain the lineup until 1967 when Ballard exited the collective. This iteration, which earned 10 of those 12 no. 1s, struck gold with this infectious, lighthearted joint. It’s all about those pesky matters of the heart! “You came into my heart (Baby, baby) / So tenderly (Where did our love go?),” The Supremes sing, adding “With a burning love (Baby, baby) / That stings like a bee (Baby, baby, ooh, baby, baby).” Of course, the centerpiece is the chorus: “Ooh, baby, baby (Baby, baby) / Where did our love go? / Ooh, don’t you want me? (Baby, baby) / Don’t you want me no more? (Baby, baby, ooh, baby, baby).” Besides the enjoyable lead pipes of Diana Ross, and the cute, playful backups by Wilson and Ballard, the instrumental is vintage – 60s soul, baby! Part of that vintage sound includes the saxophone solo, which provides a fabulous contrast. More could be said of “Where Did Our Love Go” but like so many classics, the music speaks for itself.
