"It's the Things You Do" is a song by British boy band Five, released as the fifth single from their debut studio album, 5ive (1998). Written by Max Martin, George Shahin, Herbie Crichlow and Five, the song was released as a single exclusively in the United States. The song charted at number 53 on the Billboard Hot 100. Co-writer George Shahin originally released his version as a single in 1997 titled "The Things You Do", from his album All the Way. Five's version contains rewritten lyrics in the first verse, and a rap for the second verse, but keeps the pre-chorus and chorus.
