"Feel" (stylized as feel) is a smooth R&B song by Japanese singer and songwriter Kumi Koda. For the song, she worked closely with composer Hitoshi Shimono, who had composed the instrumental. The single is Kumi's sixth single in her 12 Singles Collection and second single to chart at #1 on Oricon, selling 39,110 units within the first week. As with some of the other singles released in the collection, feel was limited to 50,000 copies.

feel is Japanese singer-songwriter Kumi Koda's sixth single in her 12 Singles Collection. As with the other singles in the collection, feel was limited to 50,000 copies. It shifted 39,110 units within the first week. Despite it being limited, it became her second single to reach #1 on the weekly Oricon Singles Charts - her first being you, which was also released for the collection.

Each single in the 12 Singles Collection had unique cover art based on certain cultures in various countries. The back cover of each single was a piece to a puzzle, which could only be completed by purchasing all twelve singles. The same was done for the obi strips, which contained a full image when arranged together in order. However, the obi strip image was omitted on the Hong Kong versions.

For the song, Kumi worked closely with musical composer Hitoshi Shimono. She had worked with him previously for her 2004 song "24," which was released on Kumi's first DVD single, girls ~selfish~, and on her fourth studio album, secret. This made it her second song to have a chorus completely in English.

To help promote the single, "feel" was used in an advertisement for the website music.jp, which is a music distributor site for Japan. The site is also used by the RIAJ Digital Track Chart to measure cellphone downloads for musical tracks.
