The rhythm is relatively slow, making it easy to sing.

I also recommend it because not only the melody but the English itself is simple.

Even in the chorus, there aren’t any fast, tongue-twisting lines; the catchy lyrics are repeated, so it’s easy for listeners to get hyped up.

Calvin Harris – Feels (Official Video) ft. Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry, Big Sean

The PV’s vibe is pure summer—I felt like I could experience summer just by watching it.

The rhythm is unique, and the song has an addictive quality that makes you want to listen to it under summer palm trees.

I also really like the style where the woman and man sing alternately.
