Songfacts®:

  • "Dr Feel Right" finds Manchester DJ-producer Josh Baker donning a white coat and stepping into the role of musical physician, administering four-on-the-floor therapy to anyone within earshot. He spins around the idea of music as medicine, assuming the persona of "Dr Feel Right," a modern-day mix of Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing" bedside manner and Robert Palmer's clinical precision. Though in Baker's clinic, the only prescription is volume.
  • The song features vocals by The Egyptian Lover and Rome Fortune.

    Greg Broussard, known professionally as The Egyptian Lover, is an American hip-hop musician, producer, and DJ who has been active since the early 1980s. Born in Los Angeles, he is widely recognized as one of the founding fathers of West Coast electro-rap and a master of the Roland TR-808 drum machine.

    Joining him is Atlanta rapper Rome Fortune, whose one liners add a splash of cool detachment. A descendant of jazz greats Nat and Cannonball Adderley, Fortune channels a kind of hereditary groove, with influences ranging from his family's smoky bebop lineage to the gritty rap on DMX' Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood, the album he's called life-changing.
  • Before its official release, the track circulated through Baker's DJ sets, and by the time he teased it on Instagram in March 2025, the patient list was long and impatient; fans were clamoring for the prescription to drop. When it finally arrived that September, it proved that sometimes the doctor does know best: All you really need to feel right is the right beat at the right time.
