"I Gotta Feeling" is the second single from The Black Eyed Peas' fifth album The E.N.D, produced by French DJ David Guetta.[2] The song was released on June 23, 2009[3] and debuted at number two on the Canadian and Billboard Hot 100 on the week of June 27, 2009, behind the group's "Boom Boom Pow", making the group one of 11 artists who have occupied the top two positions of the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time. The song samples "Take A Dive" by Bryan Pringle. It later reached number one on the US charts and 20 charts worldwide.
The song was nominated for Record of the Year at the 52nd Grammy Awards and won the Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.[4] "I Gotta Feeling" was 5th on the Billboard Hot 100 Songs of the Decade.[5] The song was also nominated as Song of the Year at the 2009 World Music Awards. In March 2011, it became the first song in digital history to sell over 7 million digital copies in the United States. As of April 2015, it has sold over 8.6 million downloads in this country.[6] This also makes it the highest selling digital as well as non-charity single in the US ever.[7] "I Gotta Feeling" spent 14 consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100, the longest-running number-one single of 2009. The song was the third most successful song of the decade in Australia, as announced on January 7, 2010.[8] As of February 2010, "I Gotta Feeling" holds the record as the most downloaded song on iTunes of all time.[9] Worldwide, it was the most successful song of the 21st century (with estimates putting combined sales and streams between 13 and 15 million units) until passed by "Happy" by Pharrell Williams in 2014.[10]
Background
"I Gotta Feeling" was written and composed by all the members of The Black Eyed Peas (credited as William Adams, Allan Pineda, Jaime Gomez, and Stacy Ferguson) together with French producers David Guetta, Frederick Riesterer, both of whom produced the song. will.i.am provided additional synthesizer work to the song. The song was recorded at Square Prod in Paris, France and Metropolis Studios in London, England, United Kingdom. "I Gotta Feeling" is the second single released from The E.N.D (2009). Interscope Records serviced the song to contemporary hit and rhythmic crossover radios on June 23, 2009 in the United States.[11][12] In an interview with Annie Reuter of Marie Claire, will.i.am stated that "It’s dedicated to all the party people out there in the world that want to go out and party. Mostly every song on the Black Eyed Peas record is painting a picture of our party life. It was a conscious decision to make this type of record. Times are really hard for a lot of people and you want to give them escape and you want to make them feel good about life, especially at these low points."[13]
Composition
"I Gotta Feeling" samples a beat from the song "Take A Dive" by Bryan Pringle. The song is an uptempo dance pop song that runs a length of 4:49 (4 minutes and 49 seconds). The song follows in the inspirational dance-pop theme of The E.N.D, being built upon the heavy use of Auto-Tune and futuristic synthesizers while running through a tick-tock rhythm.[14][15][16] It is composed in the key of G major. The song begins in a restrained fashion then moves into a throbbing dance beat that changes patterns so that at least one reviewer thought it shifted tempos,[15] although in fact the tempo does not change at all, suggesting the use of a click track in recording. It contains electronic influences. The "woo-hoo" line is sampled from The Police's song "Every Breath You Take". Ann Powers of Los Angeles Times noted the song's similarities to Five Stairsteps' song "Ooh Child", writing that it emulates the song's "use of a repetitive, warm vocal line to signify a good mood coming on."[17] According to Jimmy Iovine of the Interscope Geffen A&M label group, the melody was inspired by the U2 song "I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight": "I sent will.i.am over to the studio to do some remixes on I'll Go Crazy. He works on them for two weeks, comes back and writes I Gotta Feeling. The chords are U2 chords, 100 per cent. Will even told them."[18]
Critical reception
"I Gotta Feeling" received generally positive reviews from music critics. David Balls, a writer for Digital Spy, gave the song a four-star rating, writing that the song is "every bit as quirky as its predecessor ("Boom Boom Pow")".[15] However, he compared it to Girls Aloud's "Biology", writing that they sound like a collection of musical ideas "that only makes sense after a few listens."[15] Another writer for Digital Spy, Nick Levine, praised "I Gotta Feeling" and "Rock That Body" as ace collaborations with French disc jockey David Guetta.[19] Music critics like John Bush of All Music Guide and Andy Gill of The Independent labeled it as one of the album's best tracks.[14][20] Ann Powers wrote a positive review about "I Gotta Feeling", noting that "the Peas do let in some human sweetness and light" on the song and that it uses "a repetitive, warm vocal line to signify a good mood coming on."[17] Ben Westhoff of Las Vegas Weekly dismissed the song as a blend of house, electro and dancehall beats that do not work compared to songs on The E.N.D like "Imma Be" and "One Tribe".[21] Mike Schiller, a writer for PopMatters, found the song to be irresistible, writing that it "is one of those dance tunes that’s impossible to hate thanks to something like good natured naïveté".[22] In his review of the album for Stuff.co.nz, Chris Schultz dismissed the lyrics, writing that they were the worst since Flo Rida's "Right Round".[23]
The Observer-Dispatch writer David T. Farr praised the song as "the summer track of 2009", writing that "It’s one of those songs you grasp onto right away and crank up as the beat goes on, even the first time you hear it (guilty as charged)."[24] Will Hines of Consequence of Sound shared similar feelings about "I Gotta Feeling", defining it as "chart baiting".[25] Guy Blackman, a writer for The Age, labeled "I Gotta Feeling" and "Boom Boom Pow" as further dumbed-down dance-pop songs.[26] Bill Lamb of About.com gave the song a four-star rating, praising it for the difference of style from previous releases by The Black Eyed Peas and as a great summer song with a feel good mood., but he criticized the lack of lyrical depth and constant use of Auto-Tune.[16] Billboard's Chris Williams praised the song as their most mainstream release, writing that "they trade off on a simple, yet effective melody and message".[27]
