“Just Feels Good” was released as the first single from Imani Coppola’s twelfth album, Hypocrites. Coppola learned that Rachel Platten had expressed interest in the song, but when Platten eventually passed on it, Coppola decided to record it herself.
The song’s lyrics describe a happy day, in which...
[Verse 1]
I give you a thumbs-up, a high-five
I got my deuces and a big bright smile
I feel alive, I occupy
My space and activate my mind
I say-ay what I wanna say
I got nothin' in my way-ay
I get into it, I get into it
I can't get it outta my head
I'm into it
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm feelin' like myself again
I feel like everyone's a friend
We all need one of them days
One of them days every now and then
[Chorus]
Just feels good
Little peace of mind
Not a cloud in the sky
Just feels good
Even the sunshine's feelin' my vibe
I got sunglasses on, my happy face
I feel 100 percent up in this place
[Verse 2]
I give you a fist bump, say "what's up?"
Take it from a midday stride to a midnight stun
Hands down, right here, right now
I got the hottest ticket in town
'Cause I'm cool, cool
Whatever I do, cool
Whether I'm solo or I'm rollin' with the crew, crew
I get into it, I get into it
I can't get it outta my head
I'm into it
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm feelin' like myself again
I feel like everyone's a friend
We all need one of them days
One of them days every now and then
[Chorus]
Just feels good
Little peace of mind
Not a cloud in the sky
Just feels good
Even the sunshine's feelin' my vibe
I got sunglasses on, my happy face
I feel 100 percent up in this place
[Bridge]
A thumbs up, high five
A peace sign, I smile
I feel alive
[Chorus]
Just feels good
Little peace of mind
Not a cloud in the sky
Just feels good
Even the sunshine's feelin' my vibe
I got sunglasses on, my happy face
I feel 100 percent up in this place
[Outro]
A thumbs up, high five
A peace sign, I smile
I feel alive
A thumbs up, high five
A peace sign, a fat smile
I feel alive, feel alive
Activate my mind
I get into it
Just feels good
Just feels good
Feels good
Just feels good
Just Feels Good was written by Imani Coppola.
Just Feels Good was produced by Richard Maheux.
Imani Coppola released Just Feels Good on Fri Jul 21 2017.
In a July 2017 article for Yahoo! Music, Coppola stated that the song “was kind of a songwriting experiment where I aimed to use emojis in place of lyrics to fit the theme of the current emoji obsessed world […] No, you can’t actually see the emojis in the song, but I worded the specific emoji act."
