"Just Feel Better" was the second international single to be released from Santana's 2005 album All That I Am. The song features lead vocals by Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, also signed to Sony Music Entertainment. The song is produced by John Shanks and written by Jamie Houston, Buck Johnson and Damon Johnson. The single achieved reasonable success in Australia, debuting at Number 8 on the ARIA chart and receiving significant airplay. In Australia it has been on Rage (ABC) and videohits (channel 10) a number of times.
The song was also recorded with Puddle of Mudd frontman Wes Scantlin on vocals but Santana said he felt Tyler did it better, with more emotion, although he liked both renditions. In 2010, Damon Johnson recorded his own version of the song for his album Release.[citation needed]
This song is shown to be playing on the first generation iPod Nano on its packaging box.[citation needed]
Music video
[edit]The music video stars Nikki Reed as a girl with various troubles, including a teacher who makes sexual advances towards her and a strained relationship with her mother. At the end, she finally meets a nice guy but who is suddenly killed in an accident, which drives her to make amends with her mother and work harder in school. For some reason, Chicago rapper, Rhymefest has a, frankly, confusing cameo at the end as the girl sits in front of the TV and his music video for Brand New plays. [citation needed]
