}}</ref>  Originally believed to be released as a b-side, the band stated in mid-2000 it was going to be placed on an EP. It instead made the album, surprising many at the time, and wound up being released as a single. The song was used by Nescafé for their advertisement but without the band's permission. The band denied them the use of the song because they didn't believe in having their music used to advertise supermarket products. Nescafé withdrew that version for a different version. Muse were subsequently paid £500,000 of settlement money, which they donated to Oxfam.<ref name="xfmdoc"/>


In an interview with Rocksound Magazine, Bellamy stated that "our interpretation is quite different from the original, but nowhere near as good. I chose it because it’s got brilliant lyrics, and it fits in with some of the other songs on the album. It’s about becoming you – getting rid of your past and thinking about leading a new life. I just want people to know that underlying what I do is something positive, and that I’m not here to kill myself or to destroy the situation we live in.”<ref>Rock Sound Spain 31/07/01</ref>
==Information==
{{disco-info |

In Taratata part 2, the host tells Matt that he has heard that Matt's mother likes the song. Bellamy replies with "loves the song."
A picture disc vinyl was released exclusively on Muse.mu.


"Feeling Good" was written by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse for the musical "The Roar of the Greasepaint - The Smell of the Crowd", though was made famous when performed by the legendary jazz artist [[Nina Simone]].

==Matthew Bellamy definition of Feeling Good==
==Pre-release==
Matt said that the song for him it's about "Looking to the future with hope"<ref>Kerrang!October 2001: Muse Shoot Two Videos</ref> he also said in another interview: "The music is very dark and moody but as plain text the lyrics are just a cheesy, happy poem, just so amazingly positive, and It can make you feel like there's really something worth fighting for. It is depressing but it’s almost like humanity singing about how good things could be"<ref>Rock Sound - 2001</ref>
Promos for the single were distributed in the UK and the US in early January.

This song was played on Spanish TVE:Radio3 as a live recording, in which, after the second verse, Matt Bellamy started swearing in time with the music for two lines; they were told not to swear which angered Muse as they never swore in their music until then, so they swore extensively. The video for this can be found [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGnw_WtQflY here]. Muse have been banned from Radio 3 ever since. During the performance, he sang "Fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking hell! Fucking, fucking little, fucking, fucking fuckers, yeah!".

This cover of the Anthony Newely & Leslie Bricusse song, made famous by Nina Simone, was commonly played live between 2000 and 2003, but wasn't played between Laugardalshöll 2003 and Southside Festival 2006 with the exception of one 2004 gig in Tokyo. It was once again played regularly live from 2006 until 2010. The song was played only 3 times in 2011 and not at all in 2012. The song saw a resurgence during the last part of The 2nd Law Tour. It was not included in any setlists for the Psycho UK tour but did reappear for the Asian leg of the Drones World Tour with a few sporadic gigs during 2015 and 2016. Feeling Good has yet to be played for 2017 and considering the lack of piano songs in recent setlists, it's unlikely the song will return anytime soon.
