Feel Something (feat. Duncan Laurence) - Commentary

I wrote "Feel Something" with Leland on my first trip to Los Angeles
I was invited by Capitol Records to fly over to L.A. and do some writing sessions
It was such a fun time

I remember the session quite clearly
The weather was really nice
But we locked ourselves up in quite a dark old studio
On the first floor of a building on a street in the middle of Los Angeles
Uhm, that's when the demo of "Feel Something" was born
Uhm, far before quarantine

But now that I listen back to it actually
It surprises me how much it talks about the loneliness
That probably a lot of people are going through in the world right now
In quarantine

Uhm, after meeting Armin at an awards show in Amsterdam
We decided to go into the studio
To see if we could make something together

Starting off the session, I played him "Feel Something"
He was super enthusiastic
And he asked me, like, if he could finish it off
And turn it into a "Featuring"

Uhm, it was such a cool thing to see our song develop
From a demo into the finished song that it is now
And I'm really, really proud of this one
And I think it's a great track, and I'm proud to add it to my first album ever

I hope people will love it
Uhm, the song, but also the album, of course
It means so much to me
I think it really is the start of something beautiful
