About I've Got a Feeling

"I've Got a Feeling" is a song by American band Ivy, recorded for their second studio album, Apartment Life (1997). It was released as the record's second single in the United States and Australia on October 7, 1997 and 1998 by Atlantic Records, respectively. The track was written by Dominique Durand, Adam Schlesinger and Andy Chase, with the latter two plus Lloyd Cole and Peter Nashel handling its production. It is a pop song accompanied by light vocals and a horn section, with Durand gently singing about falling in love, over several layers of guitars and relaxed harmonies. It was released as a CD single in two different formats: one contains the album version and a remix of the track while the other features the bonus track "L'Anamour". Several music critics felt "I've Got a Feeling" would become a successful track for pop radio airplay if given the chance. A music video for the track was released in 1997 and features the band members performing inside and outside a photo booth. Other scenes show individuals entering the booth and departing with a CD in their hand.
