Perry has claimed:
"Max has always been incredibly kind to me, he is the most authentic Swedish person I have ever worked with, and he just has an incredible ear for melodies and how they should be, we had so much fun making music together, we get really excited, we like to dance around the studio. He brought me to Stockholm to introduce me to a couple of different musicians, like Klaus Ahlund, I really enjoyed working with them. The different kind of sonic level of music that's been made over in Sweden is very advanced and it's very fresh they kinda know what is coming first." About working with Perry, Ahlund stated, "When you move around the planet, the vibe of the place you're making the music in definitely makes an imprint on whatever you're writing." While co producing nine tracks on Prism, Martin and Åhlund worked together on two tracks: "Walking on Air" and "This Is How We Do".

F.)', Perry's previous party hearty mega hits."

Uh huh. I see you," she says.

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic claimed that "even when she cheers on excess on 'This Is How We Do' she's not a participant but rather a ringmaster," picking the song as one of the album's highlights. Jason Lipshut of Billboard wrote that the song "carries 'song of next summer' potential," while Edna Gundersen of USA Today named it a "buoyant pop blast." In a similar vein, James Montgomery of MTV News described the track as "a cocksure, club ready banger." Nick Catucci of Entertainment Weekly called it "irresistibly bouncy," while Andy Gill of The Independent noted that the song "offers the year's best top down cruising anthem." Rob Harvilla of Spin enjoyed the track, but felt it wasn't as strong as "Last Friday Night", ultimately calling it "a knuckleheaded, bottle service party jam." Chris Bosman of Consequence of Sound criticized the "'this goes out to the [blank]' coda", claiming that "it only hammers home how much better Kesha is at this stuff." Melinda Newman of HitFix gave the song a "C−" grade, claiming that "It's hard not to raise your arm in the air and wave it back and forth in this old school sounding track about partying, claiming that the song is "unlike anything else Perry has recorded before" and that it "could be a sleeper hit." Evan Sawdey of PopMatters was mixed with the song, calling it an "odd number, where her lyrics swing from actually clever ('suckin' real bad at Mariah Carey oke') to a bit worrisome ('getting' our nails did / all Japanese y')." While calling it "a Ke$ha grade throwdown", Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine claimed that the track "features possibly the dumbest lyric of the year." Philip Matusavage of musicOMH felt that the song "is so clearly calculated to every second that it instead feels cynical."

On July 24, 2014, a lyric video for the song was uploaded to YouTube. The official music video for the song, directed by New Zealand filmmaker Joel Kefali and produced during a three day studio shoot in Los Angeles, was released on July 31, 2014. According to the director, he was trying to "fully interpret the pop nature of Katy Perry, because [he] hadn't done any straight down the line pop videos before. [His] idea was to make a pop video but to keep some edge to it, and make it feel like it was pop art We did a studio based shoot where we used lots of animation and props, and then each line of the song had its own little vignette. I wanted to do something that was close to the work I'd already done. I like mixed media, jumping between live action and animation, and I focus more on design." The video features Perry, accompanied by model Aglae Kounkou and dancer Leah Adler, in front of various backdrops, including a kitchen, a ping pong table, a bathtub, a 3D version of Piet Mondrian's Composition with Red Blue and Yellow, and an ice cream truck. The video also includes a myriad of male dancers in grey suits and red bowties, who also move furniture and props around. A scene during the bridge of the song shows various young adults in midair while food flies around them, and also features Perry on a Skype call with someone named "Jessica Thot". The video also features various animated cartoon versions of ice cream, pizza, and watermelon, which are all shown dancing at the end of the video.

Joe Lynch of Billboard said the video is "an explosion of pop art, vintage fashion and twerking ice cream cones". Zayda Rivera of New York Daily News commented that in the video "Perry boasts about living a carefree lifestyle without consequences," writing that it's "all about having fun no matter what." While writing that the video "has that quintessential Katy feel", Alyssa Toomey of E! added that it "feels like a combination of [Perry]'s lyric video for 'Roar' and her 2010 smash hit 'California Gurls'." Robbie Daw of Idolator simply called it "a dazzling, eye popping colorgasm", while Jon Blistein of Rolling Stone named it "a hyper stylized, pastel soaked pleasure dome." Lindsey Weber of Vulture claimed that "after the underwhelming 'Birthday' [music video], Katy Perry's video for 'This Is How We Do' is full of summertime treats and Tumblr inspired iconography." Chris Martins of Spin claimed that "the wild clip is almost OK Go level ambitious, employing bizarre sets, unique costumery, and a whole lot of color to bring the bouncy single to life."
