Got the Feelin'


"Got the Feelin" is a song by English boy band Five. It was released on 2 June 1998 as the third single from their self-titled debut album. It was written by Richard Stannard and Julian Gallagher along with band members Jason "J" Brown, Sean Conlon and Abs Breen, and it was produced by Denniz Pop and Jake Schulze. The song became a hit, peaking at No. 3 in the United Kingdom, No. 2 in New Zealand, No. 4 in Ireland, and No. 6 in Australia. It was also successful in several mainland European countries.

Chart performance

"Got the Feelin" reached a peak position of No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the band's third top-ten single and their highest-charting single until the album's next single "Everybody Get Up" reached No. 2. "Got the Feelin" debuted at No. 35 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart and eventually peaked at No. 6, becoming the band's third consecutive top-ten hit. It was also a success across Europe and Oceania, having reached the top five in Flanders, Ireland, the Netherlands, and New Zealand, the top ten in Finland and Greece, and the top twenty in Sweden. The song received a gold sales status certification in the UK for the shipment of 400,000 copies and has sold 510,000 copies there as of February 2025.

Music video

The video was shot in just four takes at a private swimming pool in Chatsworth Avenue. It was directed by duo Liam Kan & Grant Hodgson who previously directed their video for "When the Lights Go Out". In a continuity error, Jason "J" Brown can be seen wearing a blue shirt whilst driving a car, but when he gets out of the car, he is wearing a grey shirt. Scott Robinson explained that this was because the wardrobe department lost the blue shirt and could not find another one in time.
