Songfacts®:

• This bluesy number is part of A.J. Croce's 2025 album Heart Of The Eternal. The "feeling" he sings about on the track was inspired by the music. "It was really coming out of that psychedelic soul groove - Shuggie Otis, Chambers Brothers, or Sly from that era," Croce told Songfacts. "There's a really cool keyboard part in there as well as the guitar part, so I sang and played guitar, then sat down and played the fuzzed-out Rhodes solo in that part after. It just came together."
• Croce wrote this song while he was on tour, but he wasn't happy with the lyric, so he brought in Tommy Sims, who co-wrote Eric Clapton's "Change The World," to work on it. They were hoping Robert Randolph would record the song, but it didn't work out with Randolph's schedule, so Croce kept it for himself.
• Croce credits his band for bringing this song to life. "It's funny to see what a band gels on, which things we all have in common," he told Songfacts. "The drummer is Gary Mallaber, who is on 'Moondance' and 'Tupelo Honey' and was the drummer on all those Steve Miller Band albums and played with Joe Walsh, Peter Frampton, Bruce Springsteen, and Bonnie Raitt. He brings a rock and roll element to things. David Barard from New Orleans played with Dr. John for nearly 40 years, and with Allen Toussaint, Etta James, Irma Thomas, Lee Dorsey, the Nevilles... you name it. He brings a really great R&B, soulful aspect to it. And James Pennebaker out of Texas came up playing with Freddy Fender, LeRoy Parnell, Delbert McClinton and all these Americana artists. What we found together was this sweet spot: a mid-to-late '60s groove, that early psychedelic soul thing. This band just gelled with that."
