Upon release, the song was met with positive reviews, with critics praising the simplicity of the song with its '80s-inspired production and the commercial appeal. Some compared Gaga's vocals to those of [[Tina Turner]]'s and [[Christina Aguilera]]'s. In the United Kingdom, "Do What U Want" was deemed ineligible to enter the [[UK Singles Chart|The Official UK Singles Chart]] and will be unable to do so until ''Artpop'' is released. Gaga has performed an acoustic version of the song on the [[The X Factor (UK series 10)|tenth series]] of [[The X Factor (UK TV series)|''The X Factor'' (UK)]], which prompted complaints to the broadcaster and British media regulator, [[Ofcom]], due to Gaga's costume, performance and suggestive lyrics, which was broadcast before the [[Watershed (broadcasting)#United Kingdom|9pm watershed]]. |

"Do What U Want" is an experimental dance and R&B song where Gaga and Kelly occupy equal amount of space, until the final [[refrain|chorus]], where both their singing is merged into a [[Drop (music)|climax]].<ref name="popcrush"/> The track features a "muscular club beat", '80s throbbing synths and an electronic beat, with lyrics like "You can't stop my voice / 'Cause you don't own my life / But do what you want with my body".<ref name=Danton/><ref name="ew"/><ref name="nydaily"/> Jason Lipshutz from ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' described the track as "a mid-tempo, dusky sex siren", aided by [[arpeggios]] and an emotional chorus with Kelly concluding his lines with [[profanity]].<ref name="bigbet">{{cite news|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/5770533/lady-gagas-do-what-u-want-change-up-the-big-bet-on-her-r-kelly|title=Lady Gaga's 'Do What U Want' Change-Up: The Big Bet On Her R.

Lyrically, the song is straight forward and finds Gaga telling off her detractors with the sentiment that her thoughts, dreams, and feelings are her own, no matter what one does with or says about her body.<ref name="ew"/> She and Kelly trade verses over a "funky, uptempo beat", singing the lines "Do what u want/ What u want with my body/ Do what u want/ What u want with my body/ Write what you want, say what you want about me/ If you want you know that I'm not sorry". According to [[MTV News]], one of Kelly's line is directed towards the critics when he sings; "Taking these haters/ And we rough 'em up/ And we land the cut light, we don't give a..."<ref name="dowhat"/> Jim Farber from ''[[Daily News (New York)|New York Daily News]]'' interpreted the lyrics as twisting the sexual implications of the song, believing the song to be a criticism of "everyone who ever made a tart comment about her — which, by now, involves half the planet".<ref name="nydaily"/> Farber interpreted the lyric "But you can do what you want with my body" to mean that although people abuse her image, she won't let it affect her "essence".<ref name="nydaily"/> John Walker, from [[MTV News]], interpreted the song as about sexual submissiveness; Gaga consensually giving up only her body. Walker notes that although Kelly sings from a dominant perspective, he is not demanding: his sexual service is offered only if Gaga wills it.<ref name="nsfw"/> |

The [[Official Charts Company]] released a statement explaining that the song would be allowed to chart only after the associated album's pre-order offer ended. The rules of the Official Chart Company "allow one 'instant grat' promotion per album, i.e a single track download given away as an album pre-order incentive. 'Do What U Want' is the second track [following '[[Applause (Lady Gaga song)|Applause]]'] to be delivered to fans who pre-order ''Artpop''".<ref name="no uk chart"/> Thus the song will not be eligible to enter the chart until the promotion finishes and the album is released.<ref name="no uk chart">{{cite news|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/lorde-and-james-arthur-go-head-to-head-in-battle-for-number-1-on-official-singles-chart-2561/|title=Lorde and James Arthur go head-to-head in battle for Number 1 on Official Singles Chart|last=Myers|first=Justin|date=October 23, 2013|accessdate=October 25, 2013|publisher=[[Official Charts Company]]}}</ref> According to Alan Jones from ''[[Music Week]]'', in the week following its release the single sold 22,915 copies in the UK; had it been eligible to chart, Jones predicted it would have entered at number ten.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.musicweek.com/businessanalysis/read/official-charts-analysis-lorde-single-sells-82k-to-hit-no-1/056526|title=Official Charts Analysis: Lorde single sells 82k to hit No.1|last=Jones|first=Alan|date=October 28, 2013|accessdate=October 30, 2013|work=[[Music Week]]|publisher=Intent Media}} {{subscription needed}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/fatboy-slim-shows-one-direction-and-the-wanted-hes-still-got-it-2577/|title=Fatboy Slim shows One Direction and The Wanted he’s still got it!|last=Lane|first=Daniel|date=October 30, 2013|accessdate=October 30, 2013|publisher=Official Charts Company}}</ref> |

"Do What U Want" adalah sebuah lagu oleh artis rekaman Amerika Lady Gaga bersama dengan R. Kelly untuk album studio ketiga Lady Gaga, Artpop (2013); dan muncul di trek ketujuh dalam album. Lagu ini ditulis oleh Lady Gaga, Paul "DJ White Shadow" Blair, R. Kelly, Martin Bresso dan William Grigahcine. Sebuah potongan "Do What U Want" pertama kali diperdengarkan di Best Buy/Beats pada 17 Oktober 2013. Lagu ini awalnya dibuat tersedia di iTunes Store menjelang perilisan penuh Artpop. "Do What U Want" dirilis sebagai singel kedua dari albumnya di Amazon.com pada 21 Oktober 2013.
"Do What U Want" diperkenalkan kepada Gaga oleh Blair sekitar dua tahun yang lalu. Mereka bekerja dan mengembangkan lagu ini hingga tahun 2013, ketika lagu ini sudah ditambahkan ke daftar trek Artpop setelah menambahkan vokal Kelly. Secara musikal lagu ini adalah sebuah lagu R&B dan synthpop yang mengandung '80s throbbing synths and an electronic beat. Lyrically, the song is straightforward and finds Gaga telling off her detractors with the sentiment that her thoughts, dreams, and feelings are her own, no matter what one does with or says about her body.
Upon release, the song was met with positive reviews, with critics praising the simplicity of the song with its '80s-inspired production and the commercial appeal. Some compared Gaga's vocals to those of Tina Turner's and Christina Aguilera's. In the United Kingdom, "Do What U Want" was deemed ineligible to enter the The Official UK Singles Chart and will be unable to do so until Artpop is released. Gaga has performed an acoustic version of the song on the tenth series of The X Factor (UK), which prompted complaints to the broadcaster and British media regulator, Ofcom, due to Gaga's costume, performance and suggestive lyrics, which was broadcast before the 9pm watershed.
