Music video
editAn animated music video was produced to promote the single, which depicts a ball rolling around a world that was called reminiscent of a level in a Sonic the Hedgehog video game.[1] The video was directed by Petra Mrkyz and François Moriceau.[2]
Critical reception
editAmrit Singh of Stereogum called it "nice" and wrote that "whatever joy 'Do the Joy' lacked comes through many times over in Air's infectious Love 2 single".[3] Scott Plagenhoef of Pitchfork felt that it works "better in the context" of Love 2, "where it serves as a breath of fresh air" as it is "one of the lightest, most agile moments on a more bottom-heavy record".[4]
