"I Feel Better" comes from Making Mirrors, Gotye's third studio album, and followed "Somebody That I Used to Know" as a single, going out as a digital download in Australia on 25 October 2011. The Belgian-Australian musician did nearly everything himself: he wrote and produced it, sang lead and backing vocals, played sampler and helped out on the mix, leaving the bass to Luke Hodgson and Lucas Taranto and the final mix to François Tétaz.
That sampler earns its keep. The trumpet melody that opens the song and returns in the bridge comes from Edmundo Ros's "Brazil", and it gives this blue-eyed soul strut a vintage gleam. It also made the charts in Flanders.
