Composition "I Do" was released on February 7, 2011 as the lead single from her upcoming third studio album All of You. It was written by Caillat and Toby Gad, and produced by Greg Wells. The song is an upbeat folk pop song with acoustic influences, whose lyrics, according to Caillat, speak about marriage. Brian Voerding of AOL Radio noted that the background vocals are weaved across the auxiliary percussion beats, and Caillat sings the lines with brief pauses. John Hill of About.com wrote that "I Do" maintains the sound of Caillat's previous works, and includes an acoustic arrangement, with shuffling beats. He also commented that the song deals with the protagonist wanting to spend the rest of her life with the one she loves. The song also uses ukulele as an instrument, which Hill thought fitted "perfectly and adds an additional layer of fun to an already upbeat song." Reception Brian Voerding wrote that "Caillat develops a smart and uncomplicated sound in the upbeat, sunny-day song." Amy Sciarretto of Artistdirect wrote that the song was "easy, breezy," and boasts a "massive hook" that would "embed itself in to [your] brain." John Hill wrote that Caillat has a "winner hands down" with "I Do". Jason Lipshutz of Billboard called the song "breezy". Mikael Wood wrote for Los Angeles Times that "When Caillat and her partners are at their best on “All of You” — as in the limpid “I Do,” one of several songs that the singer says documents her ongoing relationship with her guitarist — you buy the hocus-pocus without regret." Bill Lamb from About.com says that: "Beyond the irresistible, almost delirious love expressed in the finger-snapping hit single "I Do," nearly all the songs here could stand on their own as a hit single.
