About the song
Scotty McCreery – Feelin’ It is a song that captures the essence of carefree summer days, blending laid-back country charm with a radio-friendly, feel-good groove. Released in 2014 as the second single from his album See You Tonight, the track showcases McCreery’s warm baritone voice and his ability to deliver a song that feels both personal and universal. While McCreery first rose to fame as the winner of American Idol in 2011, he has since carved out a solid career in country music, staying true to his roots while evolving as an artist.
From the opening notes, Feelin’ It sets the tone with a breezy, mid-tempo melody that immediately transports the listener to a sun-soaked beach or a lazy afternoon by the lake. The instrumentation leans into contemporary country with a mix of electric and acoustic guitars, a steady drumbeat, and subtle steel guitar flourishes that give the song its easygoing character. Lyrically, it paints a vivid picture of summertime relaxation—bare feet in the sand, the sound of waves, and the simple joy of being in the moment. The chorus, with its catchy repetition of “Yeah, I’m feelin’ it,” makes it nearly impossible not to sing along.
One of McCreery’s strengths as a performer is his ability to convey authenticity, and Feelin’ It is no exception. His deep, resonant voice brings warmth to the lyrics, making the listener feel as if they’re right there with him, soaking in the sun and enjoying life’s simple pleasures. While the song doesn’t break new ground thematically—it follows a long tradition of country songs celebrating summer—it succeeds because of its sincerity and McCreery’s effortless delivery.
At its core, Feelin’ It is a celebration of the little moments that make life enjoyable. It’s not about grand statements or deep introspection but rather the fleeting joys of a perfect summer day. For fans of feel-good country music, it’s a song that delivers exactly what its title promises—good vibes, a breezy melody, and a reason to smile.

Lyrics
I’m feelin’ it
Pop-tops poppin’, flip-flops floppin’
Drop-tops droppin’ down
Ray-Bans rayin’, waves are wavin’
Ladies are layin’ out
Feelin’ it
iPods rockin’, sunblock blockin’
Igloos stockin’ up (yep)
Cutoffs are cuttin’, worry ’bout nothin’
But puttin’ somethin’ in my cup (feelin’ it)
And I can’t, I can’t find nothin’ wrong
With nothin’, nothin’ that’s goin’ on
It’s makin’ me wanna sing a song
That goes like this
Whoa, whoa
Ain’t nothin’ like feelin’ that summertime feelin’
Kicked back, relaxed, just chillin’
I’m feelin’, I’m feelin’ it
Whoa, whoa
Ain’t nothin’ like diggin’ that summertime
Diggin’ in the sand, gettin’ tan
With your hand in my hand
I’m feelin’ it
Oh yeah
I’m feelin’ it
Riptide rippin’, skimboard skimmin’
Sip, sippin’ somethin’ on ice (fill it up)
Hot gets hotter, head to the water
Jump into paradise (feelin’ it)
And I can’t, I can’t find nothin’ wrong
With nothin’, nothin’ that’s goin’ on
It’s makin’ me wanna sing a song
That goes like this (like this)
Whoa, whoa
Ain’t nothin’ like feelin’ that summertime feelin’
Kicked back, relaxed, just chillin’
I’m feelin’, I’m feelin’ it
Whoa, whoa
Ain’t nothin’ like diggin’ that summertime
Diggin’ in the sand, gettin’ tan
With your hand in my hand
I’m feelin’ it
(Whoa, whoa)
Oh, I’m feelin’ it
(Whoa, whoa)
Sunset settin’, gettin’ good’s gettin’
Good as it can get
Lip gloss glossin’, no more talkin’
Baby, givin’ me a kiss
(Feelin’ it)
Whoa, whoa
Ain’t nothin’ like feelin’ that summertime feelin’
Kicked back, relaxed, just chillin’
I’m feelin’, I’m feelin’ it
Whoa, whoa
Ain’t nothin’ like diggin’ that summertime
Diggin’ in the sand, gettin’ tan
With your hand in my hand
I’m feelin’ it
(Whoa, whoa)
Oh yeah
Oh, I’m feelin’ it
(Whoa, whoa)
Pop-tops poppin’
iPods rockin’
Flip-flops floppin’
Oh, I’m feelin’ it
