Background

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.

Jessie J[1]

"Do It like a Dude" was written by Jessie J under her real name of Jessica Cornish, George Astasio, Jason Pebworth, Jon Shave, Kyle Abrahams and Peter Ighile[2] Jessie J had wrote the song originally for Barbadian R&B singer Rihanna because Rihanna's song "Rude Boy" was released at the time that Jessie J began to write it, She played the song to her label, Island Records, before sending it to Rihanna's management. Island then wanted the song to become Jessie's J first single, as they thought it was "amazing".[3] Jessie J has said that she would like to perform the song live with Rihanna as Jessie J thinks that Rihanna "would kill it."[4]
