"Good Feeling" (CD Single)
Common Sense Media says
Uplifting rap track about staying positive, reaching goals.

What parents need to know
Parents need to know that "Good Feeling" is a clean, positive rap tune about staying focused on all the good things in life and working hard to make your dreams come true. There's no profanity or mature content whatsoever, and the song only briefly mentions material goods (for example, fancy vehicles). The track is a great choice for tweens who love rap.
What's the story?
In "GOOD FEELING," the first single from his fourth album, Only One Rida (Part 2), rapper Flo Rida talks about seeing all the good things in life and trying hard to turn a vision into reality. The song's lyrics are overwhelmingly positive: "Giving up's not an option, gotta get it in / Witness, I got the heart of 20 men ... I know you got the good feelin' / Let's get it, let's get it, gotta love the life that we livin'."
Is it any good?
Any artist who samples legendary R&B singer Etta James deserves big props. Flo Rida's choice to include a line from James' powerful song "Something's Got a Hold On Me" pays off here, adding a cool vibe to an already exceptional track.

Great for young kids who like to listen to pop and hip hop
this is a song for younger kids who like hip hop, but aren't ready for the more mature topics and inappropriate lyrics from much better rappers. for older people who are more well versed in rap, this song honestly isn't that good and its very very poppy.

I love this song
I love this song and don't think there is much wrong with it. But there is some consumerism.

Good Feeling about this song
Quite possibly the best song of 2011. The message is simple - love the life you live and live it to the fullest, as well as being successful at whatever you do. Catchy beat, Flo Rida has an excellent flow, and it blends just enough electronica into the song to keep you interested. The chorus is great, and I can't really complain. Anyone can listen to this song, nothing objectionable unless you don't want your kid talking about expensive cars like Maybach. Slight bragging about being a king of the jungle and as smart as Bill Gates, but it doesn't really matter.

Etta James Makes This Song
I love this quirky song that makes me feel warm and fuzzy. It samples an old 60s song (Something's Got A Hold On Me) while putting a new rap spin on it and sounding very modern. "I got a feeling that I never...had before" may be considered innuendo by some parents but it's so subtle and vague it should fly over many people's heads. I didn't notice the "bitches" part of the song since it's edited on the radio. Considering Etta James' health, Good Feeling could be seen as a very sweet tribute to her. I promise you don't have to be a hip-hop/pop fan to like this song. I can see Good Feeling having appeal to people in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s because of Etta James' chorus. I promise if this song had Christina Aguilera doing the chorus (she sang Something's in Burlesque) instead, it wouldn't be very popular. There's something about Ms. James' voice that makes this song not only enjoyable but full of positivity and optimism and warmth.
