"Good Feeling" is a song by American rapper Flo Rida from his 2012 EP of the same name, also appearing on his fourth studio album, Wild Ones . It was released as the album's lead single on August 29, 2011, in the United States. The song was written by Flo Rida, Dr. Luke, Cirkut, Breyan Isaac, Arash Pournouri, Avicii (credited to his real name Tim Bergling), Etta James, Leroy Kirkland and Pearl Woods. It was also produced by Dr. Luke and Cirkut.
The song contains a sample from the 2011 song "Levels" by Avicii, which in turn samples the 1962 song "Something's Got a Hold on Me" by Etta James. As a result, James, Kirkland, Woods, Avicii and Pournouri received writing credits. [1] [2] [3] the song is Flo Rida's fourth collaboration with Dr. Luke (after "Right Round", "Touch Me" and "Who Dat Girl") and first collaboration with Cirkut. The three would next collaborate with Taio Cruz on the song "Hangover".
"Good Feeling" peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Flo Rida's sixth top-ten and fourth top-five single on the chart. The song became a top ten hit in 16 countries.
"It's legendary, we got Etta James featured on there, so it's crazy."
"Good Feeling" is the lead single from Flo Rida's fourth album Wild Ones . [5] Dr. Luke previously produced Flo Rida's songs "Right Round", "Touch Me" and "Who Dat Girl"; Cirkut previously teamed with Flo Rida on the latter song as well. "Good Feeling" features acoustic-driven guitars, computerized beats and charging keyboards over a prominent sample from Avicii's song "Levels", which in turn samples Etta James's 1962 gospel-tinged hit "Something’s Got a Hold on Me". [5] Following James's death on January 20, 2012, Flo Rida dedicated the song in her memory. [6]
The song has received mixed to positive reviews from music critics. Trent Fitzgerald of "Pop Crush" gave the song four stars (out of possible five), writing that "the song is certainly destined to be a dance floor burner." [5] The reviewer also said that "We have a good feeling that Flo Rida has a chart-topping hit on his hands with this club banger. It feels like an anthem for the fist-pumping crowd that idolizes MTV's Guido-ville show The Jersey Shore ." [5] In a more favorable review, Katherine St Asaph of Pop Dust wrote that the track "might be the most listenable Flo Rida track ever" and that it's "pretty damn good." [7] In a more negative review, Digital Spy 's Robert Copsey rated it two stars (out of possible five) and wrote that "the sampling of DJ Avicii's 'Levels' – which in turn samples Etta James's 'Something's Got a Hold on Me' – makes this club-rap number sound about as authentic as Asda's tinned spaghetti." [8]
"Good Feeling" debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 82 in its first week of release, [9] and peaked at No. 3 in its 16th week on the Hot 100 in January 2012. [10] It reached 3 million in sales by April 2012, [11] and has sold over 4 million in the U.S. as of March 2014. [12]
