Tom Scholz wrote "Feelin' Satisfied" for Don't Look Back, Boston's 1978 album, and when it went out as a single in 1979 it turned into a sign-off: the band released nothing else for seven years, until Third Stage in 1986. It's a simple, upbeat rocker that plays like an anthem.

Billboard's Paul Grein heard an affectionate tribute to the power of music, and the other reviews lined up behind it. Cash Box pointed to the tight percussion, majestic guitar lines and soaring vocals it took for the band's trademarks, while Record World counted it among the album's most powerful rockers and praised the guitar work, Brad Delp's lead vocal and the stacked vocal hook. On the charts it peaked at 46 on the Hot 100 and 84 in Canada.
