a problem with a song
I was listening to a song today and there as a line that said "I believe in whatever you do" and It is confusing to me, because I don't know whether that "do" refers to "believe" and the line means "I believe in whatever you believe" or refers to "getting a job done" and the line means "I believe in anything that you do". Could you tell me which one is correct and How I can know?

Question

Answer

You can tell from the stress pattern of the sentence.

'I believe in whatever YOU do'  means I believe in what you believe in.

'I believe in whatever you DO'  means I believe in what you do.

The second interpretation seems most likely.

Answer

Hi Ali,

In my opinion, the phrase "I believe in whatever you do" is poor English. It's slang that American teenagers use.

In the context of this song, "do" refers to any decision and/or action a person takes. A less poetic but more straightforward way to say this is:

"I support any decisions that you make and actions that you take."

Answer

It depends on the song
what is it said in the whole song
But it usually refers to whatever the person done
I believe in anything that you do
