Background and composition
edit"Feel Like This" is a country song.[3] It came to fruition when Ingrid Andress and Julia Michaels aligned their schedules to write together at the home of Sam Ellis and realized that both were in the same stage of their current relationships: "Her and I had recently gotten out of bad relationships, and then we had both randomly just started falling in love with new people, so it was very organic. We were telling our story and our journey to how we got there because we both at the time were just in such a happy place romantically."[2] In it, Andress shares her relationship struggles with "emotional abuse" and "toxic situations", leading up to finding love and basking in "a new relationship that feels like home".[4]
Critical reception
editMaddie Street of V Magazine wrote that the song is "a ultra-personal deep dive into the dichotomy between Ingrid's past and her newfound relationship optimism. Pushing for bold, experimental sounds that blended banjos with vocoders, Andress swung from sweeping orchestration to spare, acoustic-based arrangements, delving into the innermost levels of her vocal range".[5]

editThe music video for "Feel Like This" premiered on August 31, 2022, before its release as a single.[6] Directed by Olivia Bee, the video follows Andress as she goes through the stages of a breakup from a toxic relationship, and then transitioning to her falling in love with a new man, with scenes of them riding a motorcycle together and slow dancing in a field.[7]
