"Make Me Feel" grew out of oskar med k's developing sound, which centres on silence, space, and synth-led expression.[1] In an interview for Danish media Unlimited, he described the writing of the song as a fairly long process, with several versions. Written in spring 2025, the track was crafted by means of sampling soul vocals that were then sped up and pitched down.[2]
The song went viral throughout the summer of 2025 across TikTok and other platforms, gaining momentum internationally, and reaching the top of Shazam's Global House chart.[3][4] The track was subsequently added to regular rotation on some UK and German airplay stations.[5] In the United States, it topped the BillboardDance/Mix Show Airplay dated 6 December 2025.[6]
Composition and lyrics
The song is built around a vocal sample, with its lyric cutting off after the phrase "make me feel like...", letting place to synth melodies in where the missing word would normally land. Oskar med k interpretates this sudden gap as a way for the melody to express what the vocal leaves unsaid.[1]Billboard found that this creative choice allowed the song to gain international attention.[7] Alongside, the production in itself has been described as "sadness that makes you sweat on the dancefloor", featuring house rhythms, soulful vocals, lush synths and melancholic soundscapes.[5]
A version titled "Nobody (Make Me Feel)" with American singer Khalid was released on 19 September 2025 by 7cult,B1 Recordings,and Sony Music,and features on the singer's fourth album studio After the Sun Goes Down (2025).
Background
Following the success of "Make Me Feel",Sony Music partnered with oskar med k,inviting Khalid on a new version of the record. The singer found himself inspired with the track's melody,allowing him to write his own lyrics.[5] Oskar med k,who dreamed for long time to work with Khalid,confessed that his favourite moment was when the singer first comes in on the verse,also praising his super smooth flow which takes the song to another level.[1] The record has been described as "both a late-night drive and a club anthem".[22]
