"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.
"Feel So Good" brought Mase the most commercial success as a lead artist. It peaked at number five on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, as well as number one on the Hot Rap Singles chart. "Feel So Good" was certified gold just about a month after its release on November 12, 1997; it was later certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Chris Tucker, Mase and Combs appear in the music video, which was directed by Hype Williams. It depicts the trio driving around Las Vegas in a Mercedes-Benz, as a group of female dancers are also shown dancing with them.
