"I Wanna Feel" is a song by American-born British producer Secondcity. It samples the 1996 song, "You're Makin' Me High" by Toni Braxton.[1] It was released in May 2014 as a single and reached number-one in the United Kingdom. The lead vocals are provided by Kelli-Leigh Henry-Davila, who has previously provided vocals on "I Got U" by Duke Dumont. Daniel Bedingfield sings the male vocals.

"I Wanna Feel" appears as backing music on the adult television channel Babestation. The song is certified Silver in the United Kingdom.[2]

Critical reception

Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review stating:

"Drawing upon his heritage, Secondcity's mix of Chicagoan deep house and UK garage beats proves a steadfast blend - but add a subtle Toni Braxton sample and it becomes a chart-topping contender. "I wanna feel your heart and soul inside of me," the interpolated hook - taken from 1996's 'You're Makin' Me High' - earworms over open hats and a slick groove, rubbing its hands together gleefully at the prospect of continual spins this summer. The biggest '90s dance resurgence in over two decades continues to rave, and if this future anthem is anything to go by, Secondcity is poised to become its latest poster boy." [3]
