I Gotta Feeling

About

"I Gotta Feeling" is a song by the Black Eyed Peas, released in 2009 as part of their album The E.N.D.. It was written by the group members along with producers David Guetta and Frédéric Riesterer. The song is an uptempo dance-pop track, featuring heavy use of Auto-Tune and futuristic synthesizers. It follows a tick-tock rhythm and is composed in the key of C major with a chord progression of G-C-Em-C. The song samples a beat from "Take a Dive" by Bryan Pringle and was inspired by U2's "I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight." The song debuted at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100 and later reached number one, staying there for 14 consecutive weeks. It topped charts in over 20 countries and won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals in 2010. "I Gotta Feeling" became a cultural phenomenon, often used in celebrations and events. It was certified Diamond by the RIAA for 10 million combined units sold in the US and remains one of the best-selling digital songs of all time. Despite its upbeat nature, some critics have noted a contrast between its intended joy and perceived emptiness.
