"I Feel Love" is a song by the American singer Donna Summer. Produced and co-written by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte, it was recorded for Summer's fifth studio album, I Remember Yesterday (1977). The album concept was to have each track evoke a different musical decade; for "I Feel Love", the team aimed to create a futuristic mood, employing a Moog synthesizer.
"I Feel Love" was released as the B-side to the single "Can't We Just Sit Down (And Talk It Over)", which reached number 20 on the US Billboard R&B chart. Two months later, the single was reissued with the sides reversed. "I Feel Love" reached number one in countries including Australia, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. It reached number three in West Germany and number six on the US Billboard Hot 100.[1]
"I Feel Love" became popular during the disco era,[4] influencing acts such as David Bowie, Brian Eno, Kylie Minogue, the Human League and Blondie.[5] The Financial Times named it one of the most influential records, laying the foundations for electronic dance music.[6] In 2011, the Library of Congress added it to the National Recording Registry as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically important".[7][8] It has been covered by acts including Bronski Beat, Messiah and Sam Smith.
