Introduction:
“It Feels So Right” by Elvis Presley was released in 1960, during a crucial period in his career following his return from military service. The song was part of the album Elvis Is Back!, which marked his first major recording project after a two-year break. Recorded on March 21, 1960, in Nashville, Tennessee, “It Feels So Right” was written by Fred Wise and Ben Weisman, two frequent collaborators of Elvis.
Although not a major chart hit on its own, the song showcases a more mature, bluesy style compared to some of his earlier rock and roll hits. This track, along with others on Elvis Is Back!, reflected his artistic evolution, blending rock, blues, and pop influences. His vocal delivery in “It Feels So Right” exudes a deeper emotional intensity, shaped by his experiences and time away from the music scene during his military service.
While “It Feels So Right” didn’t break into the Top 40, it resonated with fans and became a notable part of Elvis’s live performances. Its presence in his 1968 Comeback Special further cemented its place as a beloved track, showing the enduring connection between Elvis and his audience even as his sound evolved.

Lyrics:
“It Feels So Right”
Step in these arms, where you belong
It feels so right, so right
How can it be wrong?There’s something in the way you kiss
That makes me want to hold you tight
I know that nothing can’t be wrong
that feels so right.Each time we touch, you thrill me so
It means so much, so much
I can’t let you goThis isn’t only for tonight
We’re gonna love our whole life long
‘Cause baby, if it feels so right
How can it be wrong?
