In 1973, Springsteen released his first two albums, Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. and The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle, neither of which earned him a large audience. He changed his style and reached worldwide popularity with Born to Run in 1975. It was followed by Darkness on the Edge of Town (1978) and The River (1980), which topped the US Billboard 200 chart. After the solo recording, Nebraska (1982), he reunited with the E Street Band for Born in the U.S.A. (1984), his most commercially successful album and one of the best-selling albums of all time. Seven of its singles reached the Top Ten of the Billboard Hot 100, including the title track. Springsteen recorded his next three albums, Tunnel of Love (1987), Human Touch (1992), and Lucky Town (1992) using mostly session musicians. He reassembled the E Street Band for 1995's Greatest Hits, then recorded the sparse acoustic The Ghost of Tom Joad, followed by the EP Blood Brothers (1996), his last release of the decade.
Springsteen dedicated his 2002 album The Rising to the victims of the September 11 attacks. He released two more folk albums, Devils & Dust (2005) and We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions (2006), followed by two more albums with the E Street Band: Magic (2007) and Working on a Dream (2009). The next two, Wrecking Ball (2012) and High Hopes (2014), topped album charts worldwide. His latest releases include the solo Western Stars (2019), the E Street Band-featuring Letter to You (2020) and a solo cover album Only the Strong Survive (2022). When Letter to You went to No.2 in the US, Springsteen became the first artist to score a Top Five hit across six consecutive decades.
Among the album era's prominent acts, Springsteen has sold more than 140 million records worldwide and more than 71 million in the United States, making him one of the world's best-selling music artists. He has earned numerous awards for his work, including 20 Grammy Awards, two Golden Globes, an Academy Award, and a Special Tony Award (for Springsteen on Broadway). Springsteen was inducted into both the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999, received the Kennedy Center Honors in 2009, named MusiCares person of the year in 2013, and awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama in 2016. He ranked 23rd on Rolling Stone's list of the Greatest Artists of All Time, which described him as being "the embodiment of rock & roll".

The lyrics to Bruce Springsteen's song "Gotta Get That Feeling" describe a desire to find the feeling of youthfulness and uninhibitedness that comes with being out at night and feeling the excitement and the freedom of the moment. The song is filled with a sense of urgency, as the singer invites a girl to join him for a night out where they can let go of their cares and find a sense of liberation. The repetition of the phrase "gotta get that feeling" underscores the importance of this experience, suggesting that it is a primal need that must be satisfied.
The lyrics also suggest a sense of recklessness, as the singer declares that he doesn't care about the fact that he doesn't have any money. This may be interpreted as a rejection of the constraints of society, where one's worth is measured by their financial status, in favor of connecting with something more primal and authentic. The final lines of the song, which repeat the phrase "Do do hum do do do," emphasize the importance of the moment and the pleasure that comes from letting go of all concerns and simply being in the present.
Overall, the lyrics to "Gotta Get That Feeling" suggest a longing for a sense of freedom and excitement that comes with being young and full of passion. The repetition of the phrase "gotta get that feeling" underscores the importance of this experience, while the sense of urgency and recklessness suggests that it is a desire that cannot be denied.
