“Feel Good” is powered by a hypnotic melody and some massive beats, along with soulful vocals from multiplatinum singer/songwriter Daya, fresh off her Grammy Award win for the multi-platinum smash “Don’t Let Me Down” with The Chainsmokers.
“The lyrics that Daya came up with had so much intensity to them — writing about that significant other in your life who puts you in a positive, happy state of mind, even when bad things may be happening in your life or in the world. I wanted the production to reflect that intensity, but at the same time create a really positive vibe,” explains Dan Griffith. “My goal with the song was to find that balance, and I ended up hitting it by adding a lot of synth sounds I’d never used before, and by bringing in different guitar textures and then flipping them in a new way. That’s what the Gryffin project is about overall: making electronic music but using real guitar and real piano so that there’s this organic feeling to every song.”
Last year, Gryffin lit up the scene with two heavy-hitting singles, “Heading Home” (ft. Josef Salvat), which hit #1 on Spotify’s US and Global Viral charts, and “Whole Heart” (a collaboration with Bipolar Sunshine), which shot up to #2 on Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist. He is also known for turning out several of the biggest remixes in recent years, including his reworkings of Tove Lo’s “Talking Body,” CHVRCHES’ “Clearest Blue,” and Years & Years’ “Desire.”
