In "Feel the Love," John Newman is expressing his overwhelming feeling of love and asking if the person he is singing to can feel it too. He repeatedly affirms his statements that he can feel the love and wants to emphasize that it's true. The repetition of this phrase throughout the song reinforces his belief in this powerful, all-encompassing emotion that he feels deeply.
The chorus also features a call and response between the lead singer and background vocals, giving the song an anthemic quality. The continuous repetition of "You know I said it's true" intensifies the feeling of passion and certainty that Newman is trying to convey throughout the song. The song's upbeat tempo and the use of horns and strings create a celebratory atmosphere that highlights the joy of love and the sense of euphoria it brings.

I heard this song 9 years ago, after taking a positive pregnancy test. I was shaking, got in my car and it was the first song that came on the radio. It was my sign of amazing things to come! Now my son and I blast it in the car 😍
