In this sensual song, Donna Summer can "feel" love, experiencing it on a level that transcends words. Her vocal is just the same few lines over and over ("It's so good," "I'm in love"), but she sings them with a conviction that feels spiritual. There was concern that radio stations would hear it as sexual and refuse to play it, but that wasn't a problem. Compared to Summer's moaning in her hit "Love To Love You Baby" from two years earlier, it was rather tame.
"I Feel Love" is an electronic music landmark, with a track built entirely on a Moog synthesizer. Giorgio Moroder, a leading light in the genre and a longtime collaborator with Donna Summer, came up with the music. His associate, Pete Bellotte, produced the track with him and wrote the lyrics with Summer. Moroder and Bellotte are responsible for most of Summer's early disco hits.
This is the last song on Summer's concept album I Remember Yesterday, where each song gets progressively more modern, starting with the big-band influenced "I Remember Yesterday." "I Feel Love" represents the future.
