Initially, one might question if “The Feels” truly feels like it is affiliated with love or sex in any regard.  Clearly, Labrinth is experiencing something that has greatly affected him on this highlight from his 2023 album, Ends & Begins.  Has he literally been left for dead after being run over – a true hit and run? Naturally, on this ballad, he is in his feels for that reason alone.  By the pre-chorus, which recurs later, in the hands of Zendaya, Labrinth asserts: “I got touched by God and it fucked me up / Like an electrical current coursin’ through my veins / Lightning came and hit me again.” Hmm , this is where the feels begin to feel like something different.  In the epic chorus, the euphoria is something else:

“Now I’m in my feels

Way up in the clouds somewhere now

Don’t know what’s real, real

I’m ghost, gone missin’

I don’t even know if I’m here now

But I’m in my feels, feels.”

Zendaya confirms these feels as being romantic in the second verse.  She sings, “Now you got me intoxicated with your drug,” later adding, “The truth of it is I’m in love with you.” Her and Labrinth then collaborate in the pre-chorus and that epic chorus, with superb vocal chemistry.  The melody of “The Feels” is incredible. So is the picturesque production, with Labrinth handling the work behind the boards.  Furthermore, he wrote the song alongside Muz. The result is a steamy song that is perfect for the bedroom.
