"Didn't Wanna Do It" (Russian: Давай Закрутим Землю; Davai Zakrutim Zemlyu Translation: Let’s Make The Earth Turn) is a song by the Russian recording artist and songwriter Julia Volkova from her studio album. "Didn't Wanna Do It" was written by Julia Volkova, Saeed Molavi, Nadir Benkahla and the Grammy-nominated producer Taj Jackson, with production by Saeed Molavi & Nadir Benkahla (known as The Euroz). The song was chosen as the second single, and was released digitally on August 21, 2012. Musically, the song is a dance-pop song, which features elements of house and Europop. The song's homoerotic lyrics are a first-person account of the singer's sexual encounter with another woman and the ambivalent feelings the experience evoked. Bisexuality has been a frequent theme of Volkova's work, such as in her first single as t.A.T.u., "All The Things She Said" (2002) as well as "Loves Me Not". The single's accompanying artwork caused criticism and controversy among fans.
"Didn't Wanna Do It" received mixed to positive reviews from critics, as most enjoyed the sexual-oriented style of the song and the production, though some felt the composition lacked originality. The accompanying music video, released on Volkova's YouTube channel, features a female as she witnesses her boyfriend cheating on her. Volkova then helps her become more sexual, and takes her to a "Free Love Club," where both women party. The video received positive reviews from critics.
