In an interview with Zane Lowe for Beats 1 Radio, the Weeknd stated that he and Daft Punk member Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo had been mutual friends long before the recording of 'Starboy'. When he visited a recording studio in Paris, France, Daft Punk presented the Weeknd with the draft instrumental for "I Feel It Coming". He claims that he wrote the lyrics in one hour.
Additional production was done by Doc McKinney and Cirkut.
Critical reception
The song received acclaim from critics. In 'Rolling Stone's review of 'Starboy', Mosi Reeves commended the track, stating that, ""I Feel It Coming," is a gem of Ibiza disco love... [it] is surprisingly sunny and fresh". Reviewing the album for 'Pitchfork', Mehan Jayasuriya wrote that "both of the Daft Punk collaborations are satisfying, if hardly groundbreaking", describing the song as "a slowed-down version of 'Get Lucky'". Reviewing the album track-by-track, 'The Independent's Christopher Hooten praised the song and said, "the Daft Punk-featuring track initially fall[s] in with Michael Jackson and Toto on a Venn diagram but, crucially, [is] thrown off kilter by a melancholy keyboard line low in the mix in the chorus. [It] could definitely become an iconic track".
Chart performance
The song peaked at number four on the 'Billboard' Hot 100 on the date ending April 15, 2017. As of April 2022, "I Feel It Coming" has sold 6,000,000 copies in the United States.
Music video
Directed by Warren Fu, the music video for "I Feel It Coming" premiered on March 9, 2017, on the Weeknd's Vevo channel. As of June 2022, it has surpassed 1 billion views on YouTube. The video was made with intent to appear as though it was transferred shot footage, and reminiscently edited on Betacam SP, like most music videos had been prior to the digital age of formatting. Evidence of this can be seen on the slight overall softness to the image and edge bleed as the image transitions to the black bars. The video features the Weeknd meeting a "Stargirl", portrayed by Kiko Mizuhara, on a rocky, barren planet in outer space that shares similarities to Mars. The video also features an appearance by Daft Punk after the song ends.
