Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel good, I knew that I would now
I feel good, I knew that I would now
So good, so good, so good, so good, so good
Said I got you
Wow, I feel nice, like sugar and spice
I feel nice, baby, like sugar and spice
Said I got you
When I hold you in my arms
I know that I can do no wrong
And when I hold you in my arms
My love can't do me no harm
And I feel nice, like sugar and spice (sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar and spice)
I feel, feel, feel nice (I feel nice, yeah)
Like sugar and spice (ay)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (sing)
When I hold you in my arms
I know that I can do no wrong
And when I hold you in my arms
My love can't do me no harm
And I feel nice, like sugar, sugar and spice
I feel good, feel, feel, feel, feel good
I feel good
I'm looking good, damn, I'm looking good
Feel, feel, feel, feel, feel good
Jessie J
You better sing with me, let's go again
Oh, oh, oh
The lyrics in "I Feel Good" by J.W. Smith are celebratory and express love and happiness. When the singer exclaims "Wow, I feel good, I knew that I would now," they are expressing a sense of certainty and recognition that they are feeling incredibly positive emotions. The repetition of "so good" adds an extra level of emphasis to the joy they are feeling. The lyrics go beyond just feeling good, as the singer declares that they feel nice "like sugar and spice." This creates a sense of sweetness and comfort that underlines the love expressed in the song.
The second part of the lyrics changes the focus to the person the singer loves, indicating that they feel invincible when holding their partner's arms. The repetition of "When I hold you in my arms" highlights the sense of security and comfort the singer finds in their love. As the song progresses, it becomes a duet, with Jessie J joining in to sing with the original singer. The closing lyrics encourage the listener to join in and celebrate the joy of feeling good.
