This Feeling (feat. Kelsea Ballerini)

The song 'This Feeling' by The Chainsmokers, featuring Kelsea Ballerini, delves into the internal conflict between following one's heart versus adhering to the rational advice of others. The lyrics tell a story of someone who is trying to justify their feelings to those around them, who insist that they should think with their head rather than their heart. The repeated lines 'They tell me think with my head, not that thing in my chest' highlight the pressure the protagonist feels from external voices to dismiss their emotions in favor of logic.

However, the song's chorus, with its affirmative 'Yeah, yeah' suggests a strong resolve to trust one's own feelings, despite the opposition. The protagonist is determined to follow their heart, especially when it comes to love, as indicated by the lines 'But you're the one that I want, if that's really so wrong, then they don't know what this feeling is like.' This suggests a belief that the intensity and truth of their emotions cannot be understood by those who have not experienced them.

The song also touches on the theme of individuality and making one's own decisions. The lyrics 'In the end, it's my decision, so it's my fault when it ends' show a willingness to take responsibility for the choices made, even if they go against the grain. The song resonates with anyone who has ever felt torn between the expectations of others and their own desires, ultimately advocating for the authenticity and courage to follow one's own path.
