I had just moved into a new house in the Netherlands when I wrote the riff for ‘How You Feelin’ in my living room, since my studio wouldn’t be ready for a few months. I had a really good feeling about it from the start. A few weeks later, I set up a temporary studio in the spare room and got back to work on it. The track came together quickly because I knew exactly how I wanted it to sound. Then, just when I thought it was finished, I found the vocal – and that was the icing on the cake.
I sent the track to Ben on WhatsApp, and he played it that night, or maybe the night after, at Amnesia Ibiza. He posted a clip on Instagram, and the place was absolutely going off. The crowd went wild! He kept playing it on his Radio 1 residency and hammered it in almost every set. Naturally, he wanted it for Bebé, and I was buzzing about that.
