"Is This How You Feel?" came out in May 2013 as the lead single from the Preatures' second EP, which shared its name, and the Australian indie rock band later carried it over to their 2014 album Blue Planet Eyes. It's a mid-tempo groove that runs on rhythm and restraint, and Pitchfork heard it as a clean break from their earlier material, singling out a chorus that blows the whole thing wide open.
The song won first place at the 2013 Vanda & Young Global Songwriting Competition. After triple j listeners voted it into the Hottest 100, it climbed to 46 on the ARIA singles chart in February 2014, and it went platinum in Australia in 2018.
