About The Song

Remember the era of big hair, shoulder pads, and infectious pop anthems? Modern Talking was at the forefront of this musical movement, captivating audiences with their blend of catchy melodies and synth-driven sound. Why Does It Feel So Good is a prime example of their ability to craft a song that is both undeniably upbeat and emotionally resonant.

Released in 1985 as part of their album Ready for Romance, the song transports listeners back to a time when optimism and escapism were in vogue. The title itself is a question that invites reflection, inviting listeners to ponder the nature of love, desire, and the intoxicating rush of emotions.

Modern Talking’s signature sound is in full force on this track. Pulsating synthesizers, a driving beat, and Thomas Anders’ distinctive vocals create a sonic landscape that is both exhilarating and nostalgic. The music video, with its vibrant colors and energetic choreography, perfectly complements the song’s upbeat energy.

Beyond its infectious melody, Why Does It Feel So Good explores the complexities of human connection. The lyrics delve into the exhilarating highs and potential pitfalls of falling in love. The song captures the vulnerability of opening one’s heart while also acknowledging the risks involved.

The chorus, with its repetitive and catchy refrain, is a celebration of the euphoric feelings associated with love. It’s a musical expression of that intoxicating rush, that moment when everything seems perfect and the world fades away.
