I Feel Love
CRØW Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mamma's got a feeling, she's up all night
Do we give in?
Do we let go of the fight?
Well I don't know

Don't wanna be down, dragged through, messed around
Everybody's got their little fights to fight
I say no

I Feel Happy
I Feel Happy
I Feel Happy
Nothing you can say or do
Is ever gonna make me feel blue
No, no

Monkey see and monkey do
Follow me, I'll follow you
Well not tonight
Not this time

So cool to be suicidal
Maybe I will get up and feel good today
Cause this is my life

I Feel Happy
I Feel Happy
I Feel Happy
Nothing you can say or do
Is ever gonna make me feel blue
No, no

Monkey see and monkey do
Follow me, I'll follow you
Well not tonight
Not this time

So cool to be suicidal
Maybe I will get up and feel good today
Cause this is my life

I Feel Happy
I Feel Happy
I Feel Happy
Nothing you can say or do

Is ever gonna make me feel blue
No, no

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "I Feel Love" by CRØW express a sense of determination and defiance against negative emotions and outside influences. The song begins with the line "Mamma's got a feeling, she's up all night", suggesting that the singer's mother is experiencing anxiety or worry. The following lines ask whether they should give in to these negative emotions or continue to fight against them. The singer then asserts their own agency in the situation, saying "I say no" to the idea of being "dragged through, messed around". The chorus repeats the phrase "I Feel Happy" three times, emphasizing the singer's commitment to maintaining a positive outlook despite any obstacles.

The next verse introduces the idea of following the crowd or giving in to peer pressure, with the lines "Monkey see and monkey do, Follow me, I'll follow you". However, the singer once again asserts their independence by saying "Not tonight, not this time". The following lines "So cool to be suicidal, Maybe I will get up and feel good today" can be interpreted a few different ways - either as a snarky remark about people who claim to be depressed or a genuine acknowledgment of the difficulty of overcoming negative emotions. The song ends with the final repetition of "I Feel Happy", driving home the message that the singer is in control of their own emotions and refuses to be brought down by external forces.

Overall, "I Feel Love" is a powerful anthem about resilience, self-determination, and overcoming negativity.
