Prior to his breakout year, he appeared on Gizmo's Red Balloon album beside the likes of Gwen Bunn and Casey Benjamin, but 2014 was when he released a pair of warmly received EPs. The predominantly acoustic Where Will We Go, Pt. 1 (July) and Where Will We Go, Pt. 2 (September) pitched him somewhere between Jeff Buckley and Anthony Hamilton, albeit in a strictly low-key, singularly intimate fashion. Hakim steadily grew a fan base through his performances, including stints opening for Maxwell and King. Green Twins, his debut album, was made over the course of three years and released on the ATO label in 2017. The follow-up, Will This Make Me Good was released in May 2020, preceded by the single Qadir.

Feeling myself
Nick Hakim Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feeling myself, I′m feeling myself
(Right now, right now)
Feeling so good under your spell
Can't feel my face, there′s nothing below me
Damn, I'm floating

You got my
Tongue out of my mouth

Tongue out
I'm addicted
Addicted to loving you

Feeling myself, I′m feeling myself
(Right now, right now)
I got a few tricks under my belt
I love being your heart-shaped guitar
I love the way you play me

You got my
Tongue out of my mouth
Tongue out
I′m addicted to loving you

I'm feeling myself, I′m feeling myself
(Right now, right now)
I don't want nobody, don′t want no one else
I think my face is starting to melt
I feel like we're on fire

You got my
Tongue out of my mouth
Tongue out
I′m addicted to loving you (to loving you)

(The visions that you have in your mind) right, right now, right now
(They can come true if you give it some time)
Right, right now, right now (just give it some time, just give it some time)
(The visions that you have in your mind) right, right now, right now

(They can come true if you give it some time)
Right, right now, right now (just give it some time, just give it some time)
