The album took the form of a High Teen, and a Y2K-inspired visual. It also marks the group's condition of "I" series, following I Love and I Never Die (2022).

Background and release
[edit]On April 18, 2023, Cube Entertainment announced the group's comeback on May 15 by releasing a video teaser with style resembling that of a trailer of a series. The video revealed the titles of the new songs as well as the credits.[2] The announcement was also accompanied by a concept poster featuring a drawing of a Trump's queen card, with the letter 'G', representing the G in the group's name, engraved in the upper left corner of the poster instead of 'Q', in which means queen.

Conception and title
[edit]'I Feel' is an album containing (G)I-dle's declaration that they will love themselves as they are, no matter how they feel and that they want to boost the listeners self-esteem.[19]
Soyeon noted in the album press release that she was inspired by the 2018 American movie I Feel Pretty when composing the lead single "Queencard", she stated that she wanted to make the album and its lead single sound like a comedy movie "that describes the daily lives of those in their 20s and their concerns".[20] Thus the group took on "a new challenge" to dramatize the album through tracks "that develop around one single story in which each member has their own character", in which Soyeon plays the character of an "aspiring queen bee",[20] while Miyeon is a social media influencer, Minnie is a lonely gym trainer, and Yuqi and Shuhua are popular besties.[6] The narrative begins with the music video of the pre-release video "Allergy", and the story continues in the music video of the lead single "Queencard", where Soyeon realizes that "true beauty comes from self-confidence after finding out that even the queen bees have their own insecurities and compare themselves with others."[20] Visually, Soyeon draws inspiration from "high-teen" and Y2K throughout the music videos, artwork, and album teasers.[21][22]
Music and lyrics
[edit]The album is primarily a pop record and consists of six tracks that incorporate a variety of genres, such as pop rock, electro pop, pop ballad, and dream pop, with its songs incorporating newtro, rock, R&B, and minimalistic production. All tracks were produced by Soyeon, while Minnie and Yuqi served as co-composer and lyricist for "Lucid," "Paradise," "All Night," and "Peter Pan" respectively. In addition to the members, a variety of songwriter-producers also participated, including longtime collaborators such as Pop Time, BreadBeat, and Siixk Jun, with whom the group has worked on previous songs.[23][24]
Theme
[edit]"If we had done music that taught and gave lessons before, this time we wanted to express the songs [message] with a light and comical point along with the motif of the movie I Feel Pretty.
—Soyeon explaining the art direction of the album, Electronic Times.[25]
According to Soyeon, the subject matter of I Feel revolves around conveying a message about self-esteem and confidence, of which the latter two are recurring themes in the group's previous work .[21] In comparison to the group's previous releases, which took more of a serious tone, the group wanted this time to express the intended message in "a light and comical way, along with the motif of the movie I Feel Pretty."[25] The album overall discusses the message of self-esteem, which "changes according to one's thoughts and emotions".[26] According to Soyeon, the album narrates a story that "expresses the daily life and worries of people in their 20s".[27]
Songs
[edit]The opening track, "Queencard" is characterized by a "newtro vibe"[28] where its lyrics talk about a person who "realizes that true beauty comes from self-confidence after finding out that even the queen bees have their own insecurities and compare themselves with others".[20] The second track, "Allergy", is a pop-punk song[29] with lyrics that expresses the double meaning of wanting to love themselves while they resent themself by comparing themselves to others.[30] The third track, "Lucid" is a dreamy song characterized by a "unique" bass-organ harmony.[25] Followed by "All Night", a pop song that is driven by a "low-slung", elastic bassline with heavy elements of rock riffs.[29] Its lyrics revolve around a protagonist who wants to enjoy herself as she attempts to ignore other people's glares and enjoy the night.[31] The fifth track, "Paradise", is an emotional electro-pop, synth and pop ballad song built around a "catchy" acoustic guitar riff and a groovy swing beat.[26][29] Its lyrics revolve around comforting someone who is tired of everyday life and struggles "to become an adult defined by society".[26] Followed by the closing track, "Peter Pan", is a minimalistic song[31] built around a "bright" instrumental including acoustic guitar, strums and snapping beats.[29] Its lyrics were described as "witty" lyrics that express the confusion of 20-year-olds who are in the process of figuring out their adult lives.[26]
