Feel It Too (part. Tainy & Tory Lanez)

Jessie Reyez's song 'Feel It Too,' featuring Tainy and Tory Lanez, delves into the complexities of fleeting yet intense connections often found in nightlife settings. The lyrics immediately set the stage by acknowledging a common belief: 'Everybody knows you don't fall in love in the club.' This line suggests a societal norm that love and genuine connections are rare in such environments. However, the song challenges this notion by highlighting a unique bond between the protagonists, suggesting that they are not like everyone else and that their connection is special.

The song's verses are rich with sensory details and intimate moments, emphasizing physical touch and mutual attraction. Lines like 'I like it when you touch, feelin' all on my butt' and 'I feel it when we touch' underscore the physicality of their interaction. Despite the hedonistic backdrop of the club, there's a deeper yearning for emotional connection, as expressed in the recurring line, 'And I’m hoping that you feel it too.' This repetition underscores the vulnerability and hope that the other person shares the same feelings, transcending the superficiality often associated with such encounters.

Cultural references to nightlife, such as 'lighting up on my blunt' and 'all these people around us, they only want to drown us,' paint a vivid picture of the environment. The song also touches on the idea of escapism, where the characters find solace in each other amidst the chaos. The lyrics 'Life's too short to be cautious' and 'Free love don't happen often' suggest a carpe diem attitude, encouraging listeners to seize the moment and embrace genuine connections, even in unexpected places. Reyez's raw and emotive vocal delivery, combined with Tainy's production and Tory Lanez's contributions, create a compelling narrative about the search for real connection in a transient world.
