"Feel So Good" is a song by American rapper Mase, released by Bad Boy Records on September 9, 1997, as both his debut single and the lead single from 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 US Billboard Hot 100 and the Billboard Hot R&B Singles chart, as well as number one on the Billboard Hot Rap Singles chart. Internationally, it entered the top 10 in Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. 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.

Music video

The music video was filmed at Fremont Street in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was released for the week ending on October 12, 1997.
