“Who’s Making You Feel It” – Cian Ducrot
Cian Ducrot's ascent to stardom has been nothing short of explosive. From his hit debut album Victory to his GRAMMY-nominated collaboration with SZA, the singer/songwriter from Cork, Ireland has repeatedly demonstrated his prowess in emotional storytelling and genuine songwriting.
Emerging from Cork, Ireland, Cian Ducrot became one of the standout artists of 2023 with his highly praised debut album, Victory, which shot to No. 1 in both the UK and Ireland. The album features the UK Platinum-certified viral hit “All For You” and the Gold-certified “I’ll Be Waiting,” both of which reached the Top 20, along with deeply personal tracks like “Heaven,” which won the RTÉ Choice Music Prize for Irish Song of the Year.
Ducrot brings his full self to his music: intense emotions, unfiltered honesty, and an irresistible spirit. This is reflected in his impressive achievements, including over 1.3 billion global streams, 4.5 million TikTok followers, tours with artists like Ed Sheeran and Calum Scott, and a GRAMMY nomination for co-writing SZA’s hit “Saturn” (Best R&B Song). His recent releases, like the breakup ballad “Can’t Even Hate You” and the evocative folk-pop track “something I can’t afford,” further showcase his engaging artistry.
With "Who’s Making You Feel It," debuted during his New Year’s Eve performance at Dublin Castle, broadcast live across Ireland just before the midnight countdown, Ducrot launched a vibrant anthem. The song, despite dealing with the raw emotions of confronting an ex who has moved on, exudes a lively energy that is both cathartic and celebratory.
Thought we were
riding on the rings of Saturn
Now I’m just watching you go
You may say it’s no longer my concern
But I need to know
Tell me, baby,
who’s making you feel it?
Who’s making it real?
Do you miss me while you’re
living your life up there?
I saw you savoring every drop
from the Moon, I swear
Who’s making you feel it?
This track showcases a sound that is both grand and emotionally sharp, marking a notable new direction for Ducrot. Co-written and produced with GRAMMY winner Lostboy (Calvin Harris, Kylie Minogue), and featuring contributions from Theo Hutchcraft (Louis Tomlinson), the song's uplifting energy is matched by its ambitious visual presentation, filmed in Hungary under the direction of Jasmine De Silva. The video features Ducrot embracing choreography and movement, infusing classic Hollywood charm into his artistic persona.
From the opening piano notes to the soaring chorus, "Who’s Making You Feel It" projects an engaging charm. Lines like “Did he promise you a UFO? 'Cause I know you’ve been asking for some space” balance cleverness with genuine emotion, encapsulating the universal feelings of envy and curiosity after a breakup.
The single represents an exciting evolution in Ducrot's style compared to his debut album. The bright, expansive piano introduction evokes the timeless essence of early Elton John, while the punchy, soaring chorus adds a modern, radio-friendly edge. Ducrot’s fans appreciate his emotionally charged lyrics, but this track also reflects a subtle shift: where he previously approached sentiment with directness, now there’s a playful quality that brings new character to his songwriting.
Tell me, baby, where will you go?
Does he stay nearby
to catch you when things go wrong?
And does he craft a colorful boat
to weather every storm you face?
I love the way you dream at times
And I know you can’t have it all
So, tell me, baby, when you close your eyes at night,
I need to know
Who’s making you feel it?
Who’s making it real?
As the accompanying video brings a touch of classic glamour to Ducrot's world, it represents his most ambitious visual endeavor yet. The song signifies a bold step forward in Ducrot's artistry, affirming his commitment to exploring new facets of his creativity, which is an exciting development for both loyal fans and newcomers alike.
With its catchy melody and wide appeal, "Who’s Making You Feel It" is poised to be another highlight in Ducrot’s impressive catalog. This single is an experience, reminding listeners that even amidst heartbreak, there’s space for joy, humor, and personal growth.
Thought we were riding on the rings of Saturn
Now, I’m just watching you go
And you can say if it’s no longer my concern
