"Feel So Good" is the debut single by American hip-hop artist Mase. It was released in October 1997 through Bad Boy Records and Arista Records as the lead single from his debut album, Harlem World, and it appeared on the Money Talks soundtrack. The song was produced by D-Dot and Sean "Puffy" Combs and featured vocals by R&B singer Kelly Price on the chorus. The single was the most successful of the three singles released from the album, having peaked at number 5 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and number-one on the Hot Rap Singles chart. "Feel So Good" was certified gold just about a month after its release on November 12, 1997; it was later certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Chris Tucker, Mase and Sean appears in the music video, which was directed by Hype Williams. They drive around the city in a Mercedes-Benz and a group of female dancers are also shown dancing with them.
The main sample the song uses is from Kool & the Gang's "Hollywood Swinging", and the chorus interpolates the Miami Sound Machine's "Bad Boy". Jay-Z interpolates the lyrics on the song "BBC" off his album Magna Carta Holy Grail.
The music video was filmed at Fremont Street in Las Vegas, Nevada. The music video was released for the week ending on October 12, 1997.
The music video was spoofed in a scene of where Terrance and Phillip do a hip hop remix of their song Uncle Fucka.[1]
The song was used at the beginning of the Ms. Marvel episode "Crushed".[2]
The song became the United States' goal song during the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
McDonald's used the song to promote the birthday meal and milkshake for Grimace in 2023.
