About the song
There are some songs that don’t just play through your speakers—they take you somewhere. Scotty McCreery’s “Feelin’ It” is one of those rare tracks that can transport you straight to a sun-drenched afternoon, toes in the sand, and a cold drink in hand. Released in 2014 as the second single from his album See You Tonight, this breezy anthem marked a defining moment for the young country star, capturing both his Southern charm and the easygoing spirit of summertime.
By the time “Feelin’ It” hit the airwaves, McCreery was already a household name, having shot to fame as the winner of American Idol in 2011. But with this track, he began to shed the image of a reality show contestant and stepped more confidently into his identity as a bona fide country artist. With its upbeat tempo, beachy imagery, and catchy chorus, “Feelin’ It” became a warm-weather favorite, especially among fans who appreciated a song that celebrated life’s simple pleasures.
Musically, the song is anchored in contemporary country—with just enough rock-infused energy to keep things lively. It’s all about good vibes: driving with the windows down, soaking in the sun, and letting the worries of the world melt away. McCreery’s baritone voice lends the track a grounded authenticity. He’s not just singing about a laid-back day at the coast—he’s inviting you to join him there.
What makes “Feelin’ It” particularly appealing to a broader audience is its nostalgic pull. For many listeners, especially those who grew up with classic country or Southern rock, the song evokes memories of youthful summers, lazy river days, and the kind of carefree moments that seem harder to come by as the years go on. There’s a timeless quality to its message: sometimes, all you really need is sunshine, a favorite song, and a little time to unwind.
In short, “Feelin’ It” is more than just a seasonal hit—it’s a reminder to pause, breathe, and soak in life’s fleeting joys. Whether you’re young or just young at heart, Scotty McCreery makes it easy to kick back, smile, and feel it

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, oh, whoa
Ain’t nothin’ like feelin’ that summertime feelin’
Kicked back, relaxed, just chillin’
I’m feelin’, I’m feelin’ it
Whoa, oh, 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’, skim board 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, oh, whoa
Ain’t nothin’ like feelin’ that summertime feelin’
Kicked back, relaxed, just chillin’
I’m feelin’, I’m feelin’ it
Whoa, oh, 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, oh, whoa)
Oh, I’m feelin’ it
(Whoa, oh, 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, oh, whoa
Ain’t nothin’ like feelin’ that summertime feelin’
Kicked back, relaxed, just chillin’
I’m feelin’, I’m feelin’ it
Whoa, oh, 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, oh, whoa), oh, yeah
Oh, I’m feelin’ it (whoa, oh, whoa)
Pop tops poppin’ (whoa, oh, whoa)
IPods rockin’
Flip-flops floppin’ (whoa, oh, whoa)
Oh, I’m feelin’ it
