Feel For You (song)

"Kids In The Dark"
"****Feel For You****"
"The Hunger"

"**Feel For You**" is a song performed by Bat For Lashes. It serves as the third track on Natasha's fifth studio album, *Lost Girls*. It is the first promotional single from the album released on July 26, 2019.

## Background

On July 24, 2019, Natasha shared a video with a description that read “I feel for you”. Two days later, Natasha shared a video of Nikki and Michael in an amusement park, so it is believed that the track could have a music video. In the same post she announced the release of the promotional single.

On September 6, 2019, Natasha shared an artwork for the track.

When this song was performed live during the Lost Girls Tour, Natasha sang additional lyrics taken from "I Feel For You" by Chaka Khan.

## Music and composition

Natasha noted:

> “For me on *Lost Girls*, there are a lot of songs where I’m not trying to be arty, I’m not trying to make it deep and multi-layered. Like the ‘Feel For You’ song is honestly just me saying, “I’m in love and it feels great, and we’re just driving around LA, and it’s beautiful.”

She said in another interview:

> "It was liberating to just have two lines in the chorus and not be so precious about being poetic and deep and all that stuff," she laughs.

## Critical reception

The Stereogum opined:

> “*Lost Girls* third track and second single, is equally ’80s-inspired. But instead of a gauzy ballad like “Kids In The Dark,” it’s a funky banger, aimed less for the *Drive* soundtrack and more for the dancefloor. Listen to the song below.

The NME opined:

> “...a gauzy power ballad and one that reveals “a whole other side to ‘Lost Girls?. Revelling in the delights of pure, 80s-hued pop with scratches of funk guitar, it has strutting drum patterns, and a timeless singalong chorus.”

Baby, baby, when I look at you

I get a warm feeling inside

There's something about the things you do

That keeps me satisfied

Cause I love you

I feel for you

I love you

I feel for you

Baby, baby, when I lay with you

There's no place I'd rather be

I can't believe, can't believe it's true

The things that you do to me

I wouldn't lie to you, baby

It's mainly a physical thing

This feeling that i got for you, baby

Makes me wanna sing

I love you

I feel for you (Ah, ah, ah, Ah)

I love you

I feel for you (Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah)
