"Feel Something" (stylized in all lowercase) is a song by American singer Bea Miller. The single was released by Hollywood Records on June 21, 2019, following the release of previous single "It's Not U, It's Me" with 6LACK. In 2020, the song was later included on the compilation EPs Quarantine, on September 4, and Sad Boy Hours, on September 18.[1][2] It was also included on the vinyl release of Miller's EP titled, elated! released in October 2020.

After nearly a year of being released, the song started gaining traction on the social media platform, TikTok, after being included in a fan-made mashup along with the song "Still Don't Know My Name" by British musician Labrinth. Consequently, the song later received playlist support on streaming services such as Apple Music and Spotify, with the song being added to the biggest playlist on the latter's platform, "Today's Top Hits". "Feel Something" was serviced to American Top 40 and hot adult contemporary radios on September 15, 2020.

Composition and lyrics[edit]

"Feel Something" is a futurepop song[5] written by Miller, Mike Sabath, Kennedi Lykken and Justin Tranter, and produced by Mike Sabath. Miller talked about the song: "When you're experiencing pain of any kind, all you want is for it to go away. But weirdly that pain is kind of what makes you feel like a real person, so when nothing is going wrong but it's also not going right and you’re just in the middle, you feel empty. And that's almost worse. That's what I wrote this song about."[5]
