MUSIC OF THE DAY - IT FEELS SO GOOD
Lyrics
You always make me smile
When I'm feeling down
You give me such a vibe
It's totally bonified, mmh
It's not the way you walk
And it ain't the way you talk
It ain't the job you got
That keeps me satisfied
Your love, it feels so good
And that's what takes me high
Higher than I've been before
Your love it keeps me alive
Thought I should let you know
That your touch it means so much
When I'm alone at night
It's you I'm always thinking of, ooh-oh, baby
Ooh I want you to understand
How I feel, yeah, deep inside
Oh oh, you make me feel
What I need to feel, yes
In my heart
Your love, it feels so good
And that's what takes me high
Higher than I've been before
Your love it keeps me alive
Thought I should let you know
That your touch it means so much
When I'm alone at night
It's you I'm always thinking of, oh-oh, baby
Your love, it feels so good
And that's what takes me high
Higher than I've been before
Your love it keeps me alive
Thought I should let you know
That your touch it means so much
When I'm alone at night
It's you I'm always thinking of, ooh-oh, baby
Your love, it feels so good
And that's what takes me high
Higher than I've been before
Your love it keeps me alive
Thought I should let you know
That your touch it means so much
When I'm alone at night
It's you I'm always thinking of, ooh-oh, baby
Your love, it feels so good
And that's what takes me high
Higher than I've been before
Your love it keeps me alive
Thought I should let you know
That your touch it means so much
When I'm alone at night
It's you I'm always thinking of, ooh-oh, baby

ANOTHER ONE HIT WONDER
Sonique, or Sonia Marina Clarke, is a well known british singer in early 2000. She got famous due to her debut studio album which had It Feels So Good and Sky, and thanks to these two singles, she got 2001 BRIT Award for British female solo artist.
The sad thing about her works is that despite all she has done for years, she is still a one hit wonder from early 2000. She started singing from 1985, it did not work well. She made 3 studio albums after the debut album, all those 3 did not hit any chart. Well the second one, Born to be free, managed to get top 100 due to one good single, Can't Make Up My Mind.
In my opinion, she did not get enough recognition due to lack of good songs. This song It Feels So Good was one of the best in late 90, became not only her signature, it was one of the signature songs from 90s dance pop song.
In 2021 she had this single as her latest one. Yes, she kept releasing some more singles, regaradless good or bad, they did not make it into charts...
Released Twice
It Feels So Good initially released in 1997 and it did not get any success that time. Later the song was used in a commercial on TV and got very popular. This made the record label released again in 2000 to get broader audience and they made it!! it became massive hits everywhere.

I am not opening anymore packs during the days I am having Giveaways, this is a pattern I do regularly in order to have my growth maxed. I do not want to be like some players who keep doing Giveaway but their size aren't growing well, maybe stagnant is more appropriate vocab to describe them. Let say I just want to give a good example to others
