Feel It Still

"Feel It Still" is a song by American rock band Portugal. The Man, released as the lead radio single from their eighth studio album, Woodstock. The track draws on the melody from the Marvelettes' 1961 Motown hit "Please Mr. Postman," blending vintage soul influences with modern indie rock production. It became a sleeper hit, eventually reaching number one on the US Alternative Songs chart, making it a rewarding study in how classic melodic hooks can be reworked into a contemporary electric guitar context.

  • The song interpolates the melody from the Marvelettes' 1961 classic "Please Mr. Postman," earning Motown songwriter Brian Holland a writing credit.
  • "Feel It Still" was Portugal. The Man's first-ever entry on the US Billboard Hot 100, taking eight months to peak.
  • The track reached number one on the US Alternative Songs chart, as well as airplay charts in Mexico and Russia.
