about the premiere of his song he said, "I was a little bit nervous, Obviously I was confident about it because I like the song because I wrote it, but I was like, 'What is everyone going to think?'". Talking about the song he said, "It's pop with a bit of the club element, but it still has guitars in as that's my roots. The rest of the album has different sides to it as such. There's an acoustic reggae side and then there's a slightly edgier rock side to it."Elyar Fox unveils debut single 'Do It All Over Again' music video

Critical reception

Alexandra Pattinson of ''Fortitude Magazine'' gave the song a positive review:
"A bouncing bassline and innocent pop vocals are the main focus of the track but there is a strong beat behind it provided by synths and electronics. 'Do It All Over Again' is a great catchy pop track that will no doubt be the first big club smash of next year. With a bit more of an urban edge than other artists in his age range, Elyar Fox could have just enough individuality to survive the tough industry."

'' gave the song a negative review stating:
"18-year-old rising star Elyar Fox has been on our radar for quite some time now, but if we're honest, we're not entirely sure about his prospects as 2013's breakout act. It could be because there are already plenty of other above-average male artists already dominating the charts, or maybe it's because he's yet another new artist to be discovered via the medium of YouTube; a backstory that feels a little too '2012' for our liking. Then again, based on his debut single, it could be his incessant over-eagerness to present himself as the perfect pop package. Between its clichéd lyrics ("Let's go to a place we've never been before/ I wanna see it all"), the slick but dated electro whirring production and toe-curling music video that charts his rise from bedroom singer to selfie-obsessed popstar, 'Do It All Over Again' is the last thing we want to do at the start of 2014."
