Singles from This Is What It Feels Like (album)

This Is What It Feels Like is the second EP (also deemed as a commercial project) by American singer and songwriter Gracie Abrams. It was released on November 12, 2021, through Interscope Records.[1] The project is a primarily a pop record with influences of bedroom pop and indie pop. Abrams co-wrote all the tracks, and as a producer on "Feels Like", which served as the lead single for the project. The production was mainly handled by Aaron Dessner, Joel Little, and Blake Slatkin.[2]

Background

Instead of this "full-length" being released as Abrams' debut album, it is being billed as a “project” so that she can become more famous before releasing her “debut album.”[3] It continues with the "emotional territory" that is first heard on her EP minor.[3][4]
