"Do or Die" wasn't even supposed to be a single. Originally the band had chosen the album track "Wherever I Lay My Phone (That's My Home)" for release, but the label meddled around and promoted "Die" instead. The band weren't very pleased. I am though, "That's My Home" annoys me a bit; it's very repetitive and doesn't really go anywhere. It one of those tracks that I think I would have liked when I was four, and then listened to it later on in life thinking "What was so good about this again?".
The track's cool, man. It's got funny lyrics about riding camels and eating tomatoes and a simple, catchy riff that alternates between two chords. The track becomes louder and louder from the instrumental part onwards before coming to a complete stop whilst synthesizer noises carry on and eventually fade out. Plus it has a really bubbly intro, helped along with those keyboards, that sounds like background music to the start of a Saturday morning children's television show.
