Story Behind The Song
With music inspired by Dua Lipa's retro-disco Future Nostalgia album, Do The Double Dutch's lyrics express another element of the disco era, the double-dutch and its meaning beyond jumping ropes. The Double Dutch is a cultural institution; those who participate gain a sense of freedom, power and identity.

Lyrics
Double dutch bus comin' down the way
Takin' me back, 'nother time and day (Ah)
70's street and the fancy feet
Turnin' the ropes, can you feel the beat (Ah)
Hip Hop Yeah
Summer skippin' it's a dream-buildiin' force-field
There's a power in the game; say my name.
Squad be ready, steady beat, fancy foot skills,
Crown the queen and say her name
Freedom, proclaim her name
Show the world what's up.
Freedom, proclaim her name
Do the double dutch
