Feel So Close Lyrics
I feel so close to you right now, it's a force field
I wear my heart upon my sleeve like a big deal
Your love pours down on me, surround me like a waterfall
And there's no stopping us right now
I feel so close to you right now
[Build]
[Drop]
[Verse 2]
I feel so close to you right now, it's a force field
I wear my heart upon my sleeve like a big deal
Your love pours down on me, surround me like a waterfall
And there's no stopping us right now
I feel so close to you right now
[Drop]
[Bridge]
And there's no stopping us right now
And there's no stopping us right now
And there's no stopping us right now
I feel so close to you right now
About
Calvin Harris notably took over the singing duties in “Feel So Close” after previously stating that he was done with singing altogether, preferring to leave it to “people who can sing well” and freeing him up to solely produce.
Thankfully, he returned to lend the track its smooth, wistfully cool vocals. Harris has since permitted himself to sing again…at least when “the song suits [his] voice”.

He sing-speaks in a clumsy but infatuated manner over melancholic piano chords, before a breezy, lyric-less chorus of squawking electro sirens and hazy synths bound around like a bucking bronco at a Texas rodeo rave. The result is a wistful yet exhilarating club thumper – and as for those vocals, well, if you want something done right…

On 19 August 2021, the tenth anniversary of the song’s release, Harris posted the story of the song on his Instagram page:
I like remembering how it came about, cos at the time I was well confused about what to do with my life/career. At the end of summer 2010 I had played my last gig (Creamfields) with my ‘band’ and had done enough ‘DJ set’ gigs to know that I wanted to change the way my music was presented. I needed to stop singing every song as I had all these ideas for female singers and my falsetto just wasn’t going to cut it.
So I began producing with a new purpose, excited I could give my songs to real singers and finally move closer to the role I had always dreamt of in music (weird dude in the background who never speaks).
After about 3 months of studio, I visited my record label Columbia and played them Awooga, Bounce and another ok song with a feature that ended up not coming out. The response from the label was overwhelmingly lukewarm; I came out of the meeting wondering if I had made the right decision in changing my path. That’s putting it lightly actually I was gutted and my head was spinning, I thought I’d absolutely fucked it. So immediately I headed back to my studio room feeling properly sad but also enough ‘fuck it I’ll show em I’ll sing on one then, and it’ll be class’ and made Feel So Close in a few hours
