Hope You Do

"Hope You Do" is a trap-influenced, alternative R&B slow-jam, featuring a "yearning croon" from Brown.^[3][4] It contains an interpolation of the 2000 song "Where I Wanna Be" by Donell Jones, while the instrumental includes a vocal sample of Jacquees' 2014 track "Come Thru".^[5][6] The song's lyrics feature Brown reflecting on a lover and how drunk he is on a late night. According to HotNewHipHop "Brown takes on the role of hopelessly infatuated drinker on this song, his vocal delivery seemingly melting straight into the moody instrumental (...) There's a sense of foreboding from the singer on this track, as if he knows that success in courting the woman he's had his eye on might be a tall order, but the liquid encouragement seems to be going a long way".^[7]

The music video for "Hope You Do" was directed by Chris Brown with Daniel CZ and released on June 6, 2018 on his YouTube channel.^[8] Brown is seen in a long trench coat and a fedora. He shows off his "signature" dance moves and reflects on a lover during a late night out while going through alleys, tunnels, and stairways with backup dancers by his side in a black-and-white world.^[8] The video was praised for its vintage black-and-white visuals and its choreography.^[8][9]
