“Feel Good Inc.” is one of Gorillaz’s most successful and recognizable songs, combining alternative hip-hop, electronic music, and pop sensibilities. Built around a distinctive laugh loop, a pulsing bassline, and an infectious groove, the track contrasts upbeat energy with darker lyrical themes addressing isolation, consumerism, and emotional emptiness beneath surface-level happiness. The guest rap verses by De La Soul add a sharp, playful counterpoint to Damon Albarn’s melancholic vocal lines. Released as the lead single from Demon Days, “Feel Good Inc.” achieved major international success, winning the Grammy Award
