"Feeling Good" (aka Feelin' Good) is a song written by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse for the 1965 musical The Roar of the Greasepaint—the Smell of the Crowd and since covered by several artists, including Nina Simone, Muse, Sammy Davis Jr, Eels, Michael Bublé, The Pussycat Dolls and George Michael.
Due to the popularity of her rendition, most modern cover versions are played in the style of the Nina Simone version rather than the original and the song is often wrongly accredited to Simone.
