The song "Do You Love Me" by Various Artists is an upbeat, funky composition that emphasizes the singer's desire for affection and recognition from a woman who previously rejected him because of his poor dancing skills. The lyrics indicate that he has now developed necessary moves, like the ability to "mash potato" and "do the twist," to catch the lady's eye. The singer inquires whether the woman loves him and emphasizes his newfound expertise in dancing while questioning her feelings for him. The chorus repeats these lines, urging her to tell him the truth about her emotions.
The singer also employs catchy phrases, such as "work, work" or "a little bit of soul now" to show his passion for dancing and driving the woman crazy with his newfound moves. The singer is aware that he's driving her insane with his moves, and he keeps encouraging her to dance with him as she's driving him insane too. The song's chorus is simple yet effective, with the catchy phrase "Do you love me?" repeated multiple times, capturing the excitement and anxiety of wanting to know if the object of his affection returns his feelings.
