Born to Do It is the debut studio album by English singer Craig David, released in the United Kingdom on 14 August 2000 by Wildstar Records and in the United States later in 2001 by Atlantic Records. Following exposure from his work with British group Damage, David began performing vocals for garage duo Artful Dodger. During this time, Wildstar Records became aware of David, offering him a development deal before offering an album contract. The recording for the album began in 1999 before David had acquired a record contract, the recording lasted until 2000 and was composed by David himself and Mark Hill. The title comes from a quote describing the character Willy Wonka in the 1971 film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Born to Do It is a 2 step garage and R&B album, backed by electro beats, garage and hip hop. The album's songs contain acoustic guitars and insistent thumps of beats and bass, with lyrics that revolve around themes of romance, the complexities of relationships, and clubbing. Upon release, the album was met with positive reviews from music critics and was listed as one of the "Greatest Albums Ever" by MTV. Commercially, the album was a success, eventually selling over 7.5 million copies worldwide, making it one of the biggest albums by a UK R&B artist. The album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, becoming the fastest selling debut album ever by a British male solo act, and eventually being certified 6× Platinum in the region. The album spawned four singles, including the UK number ones "Fill Me In" and "7 Days", and the successful "Walking Away" and "Rendezvous".

David's earliest exposure came when he featured on "I'm Ready", the B side to British boy band Damage's 1997 cover of "Wonderful Tonight"; he then began performing vocals for a few tracks with the English garage duo Artful Dodger. Wildstar Records first became aware of David when the artist's then manager Paul Widger met the label's co owner Colin Lester and played some of his music. Lester later told HitQuarters that he was particularly impressed by the first song he heard, "Walking Away". The album's recording began in 1999 and lasted through until 2000, Hill took responsibility for the album's production along with David, whilst David wrote the majority of the album's lyrics with co writing from Hill. Hill stated that because there was no label during this time the pair had more creative freedom when creating the album;

cquote|When we started writing Born to Do It, there were no labels involved or managers or anything. We’d written the majority of the album before any of us was signed, so it was very much an organic process and it was just the two of us working on it without anyone. I remember when we were taking demos around the industry trying to get a deal, we had '7 Days,' 'Walking Away,' 'Time to Party' and others and those ended up being the final versions of the album. Ernest Hardy of Rolling Stone described the album as composed of electro rouged beats of two step garage, which Hardy compared to that of Teddy Riley and Timbaland; however, Hardy stated the album was also different from Rileys and Timbalands due to the album's ability to strike balance between traditional pop and R&B, using modern production flash as the bridge. The album's music contains acoustic guitars and prominently placed strings, layered just so over the insistent thump of beats and bass, even in the ballads. The album's lyrical content focuses on themes of romance, the complexities of relationships, and clubbing. Tracks six and eight "Last Night" and "Time to Party" both take influence from hip hop and contain spoken rap like breakdowns, while relaying on a dance production. "Time to Party" also includes a brief sample of Busta Rhymes's "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See". The album was also released in Singapore in a limited edition bonus CD single format, the release featured four remixes, including a radio edit, an Ignorants remix, DJ Chunky remix and a Better Day remix. The title Born to Do It comes from a quote describing the character Willy Wonka in the 1971 film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.

David was also nominated for four Brit Awards in 2001, including Best British Album. The album would serve as a musical inspiration to producer Rodney Jerkins during his work on Brandy's third studio album, Full Moon, following a gig in London, England, months before where he was exposed to the UK garage collaborations between David and Artful Dodger. In 2001, the album was the subject of a question on the ITV quiz show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Contestant Charles Ingram was required to identify the artist responsible for the album in order to win £32,000. Ingram claimed to be unfamiliar with Craig David but chose the answer regardless, correctly answering the question. Ingram became famous for cheating on this question and many others on the show. In a 2009 poll devised by MTV to find the Greatest Album Ever, MTV viewers voted Born to Do It as their second most favourite, behind Michael Jackson's Thriller.
