Feel Good is an unreleased song recorded in early 1995 at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota. It was first included as the fifth track on the 1995 New World album project, a precursor to what became the album Emancipation, and subsequently was to be the sixth track on a July 1995 configuration of Emancipation, and later the seventh track on another 1995 configuration. The track was removed as the album underwent many changes, however.
The track’s slow groove is reminiscent of Johnny, and lyrics from Feel Good were occasionally sung over the beat of Johnny in 1995 live shows. The song’s lyrics state "come to the show and bring your tape recorder, cause you ought to have a copy of the... yo, wait a minute, no! In 1999, I’ll be free, so..."
The song was later remade as Reconsider (U Betta) released in 1998 on Come 2 My House by Chaka Khan.
