"Feel So Good" is a song by American rapper Mase, released by Arista and Bad Boy Records on October 14, 1997 as both his debut single and the lead single for his debut album, Harlem World (1997). The song also acted as lead single for the soundtrack to the Chris Tucker film Money Talks. Its production — which samples Kool & the Gang's "Hollywood Swinging" and interpolates the Miami Sound Machine's "Bad Boy" — was handled by Bad Boy's in-house producer Deric Angelettie, as well as label boss Sean "Puffy" Combs. The latter provides backing vocals, while R&B singer Kelly Price performs the chorus.
