Thats just the way you make me feel lyrics

"Make Me Feel" is a song by American singer Janelle Monáe, released on February 22, 2018 as the lead single from her third studio album, Dirty Computer. This marks her return after a 3 year hiatus. A departure from her longtime songwriting-production team of Nathaniel Irvin III and Roman GianArthur Irvin, Monáe co-wrote the song with Julia Michaels, Mattias Larsson, Robin Fredriksson, and Justin Tranter. Several critics compared it to the work of Prince, while Monáe herself has stated that Prince helped create sounds for the album, including for "Make Me Feel".[2] It became Monáe's second single as a lead artist to chart on the US Billboard Hot 100, debuting at number 99 on the week of March 10, 2018.[3]

Critical reception[edit]

Writing for Pitchfork, Marcus J. Moore says of Monáe and the song, "The polymath unpacks a rubbery funk tune that recalls the likes of Prince and Sheila E. Her 1980s influences are clear, down to each massive synth line and the feeling of raw sensual energy woven throughout the song."[4] Tatiana Pile of Spin wrote, "The single is a high-energy funk song with some reverent similarities to Prince's 'Kiss' ... With this bouncy single, Monáe taps into her unique soul-pop sound to deliver a song reminiscent of past tracks such as 'Q.U.E.E.N.' and 'Dance Apocalyptic'."[5]

Music video[edit]

The single's official music video was uploaded to YouTube on February 22, 2018, the day of the single's release.[6] Directed by frequent music video collaborator Alan Ferguson, the music video features Monáe and actress Tessa Thompson in a nightclub. Referred to by Monáe as an "emotion picture", the video heavily resembles the nightclub and plot shown in the Black Mirror episode, "San Junipero". Throughout the video, Monáe is seen flirting with both Thompson and a man; at one point she runs between the two as if she cannot decide which one she wants. Ultimately, she dances with both. Also throughout the video, the colors of the bisexual pride flag are displayed in the overhead lighting, so-called "bisexual lighting". The music video, as well as the song, was praised as a "bisexual anthem."[7]

Writing for Billboard, Natalie Maher states the video, "takes a more Prince-inspired approach, both musically and aesthetically, with the actress hitting an '80s-esque club with actress Tessa Thompson, and serving some of the best moves and looks we've seen from her. The video also features what seems to be an allusion to Robert Palmer's iconic '80s videos, with Monae playing a similarly white guitar, backed by her own group of funky female dancers."[8]

The video received two nominations at the 35th MTV Video Music Awards in the categories "Best Art Direction" and "Best Editing".[9]

Live performances[edit]

Monáe has performed the song live on The Voice, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Austin City Limits, 61st Annual Grammy Awards, and 2019 Lollapalooza.

The song is the theme song for Big Mouth spin-off Human Resources. A cover of the song was also used in a TV advertisement for the international fashion brand Calzedonia.

(MC Ace) Ace... Coldfinger One, two, three, it's comin' to me One, two,

You seem so far away while You're playing your little game You

You lye, lips sealed, Nothing left unsaid can ever do

Gone away, slipped away, I never said that I would

I wonder, if I ever let you down Did you keep

Who killed who? We slide and flow through, no proof… You

Every time you leave me Go back in my mind and

Sou terra E sou ar E sou fogo E água E sou verbo E sou

So you know just how I feel about you You stand,

Stood and watched it grow under the rain That washed our

It has been so long, can't seem to let you

Many landscapes in your eyes Don't say nothing And don't need to

Tell me I'm I dreaming Tell me it is true Do you

I'm sittin' here lookin' at you Waitin' at the end of

I wanna praise you I wanna raise my hands to you

Quincy Jones considered this song to be one of his favorite orchestrations on the album. He personally added little rhythms and sounds here and there to give the track its texture.

The music video for this song features a dancer and actress Tatiana Thumbtzena as Michael Jackson's love interest. Jackson seduces her with his dancing.

When Michael Jackson needed a female singer to perform on this song and "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" during the Bad tour, he invited then-unknown Sheryl Crow for that role. She told Rolling Stone in 2010, "There'd be some nights where he was checked out, but some shows he'd pull me in really tight, and it was overwhelming. Not in a sexual sense, but because of the metaphysical energy he possessed."

Britney Spears accompanied Michael Jackson on stage to perform "The Way You Make Me Feel" at a 2001 concert special that aired on CBS.

In 2010, Nick Jonas performed the song during a concert at the Warner Theatre, and Whitney Houston during her I Look to You Tour.
