"'Feels like Home'" is a song written by Randy Newman for the musical 'Randy Newman's Faust', in which Bonnie Raitt sang it. Linda Ronstadt, also involved in the musical, recorded it for 'Trio II' in 1994 and released it on her solo album 'Feels like Home' in March 1995. Raitt's version was released on the musical's album soundtrack in September 1995. Raitt's version was also used the following year in the soundtrack to the film 'Michael'. Linda Ronstadt's original version, with Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton, the latter of whom was mixed out of Ronstadt's original release due to label disputes, was released in 1999.
The most successful version of the song was a version sung by Chantal Kreviazuk and released as a single from the 1999 soundtrack 'Songs from Dawson's Creek'. The Kreviazuk version reached the top 40 in Ireland and the top 20 in the Canadian adult contemporary chart, and was later included on some editions of her 2002 album 'What If It All Means Something'.
