"Feel It Still" was the song that finally got Portugal. The Man through the door, eight albums in. The second single from Woodstock and the first one sent to radio, it lifts the melody of the Marvelettes' 1961 hit "Please Mr. Postman" and rebuilds it as a strutting, retro funk-pop groove. The band wrote it with producers John Hill and Asa Taccone, and Motown songwriter Brian Holland shares the credit alongside John Gourley, Zachary Carothers, Eric Howk and Zoe Manville.

It was a slow burn that turned into a bonfire. It topped the US Alternative Songs chart, gave the band their first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 and crept upward for eight months before peaking at number four in November 2017, and it made the top 10 in 18 countries. In January 2018 it won the Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
