"I Can Feel You" is a song by American pop singer-songwriter Anastacia from her fourth studio album, Heavy Rotation (2008). The track was released in Europe on October 10, 2008 and in the United Kingdom on October 13, 2008 as the album's lead single. The worldwide premiere was in the UK on BBC Radio 2 on August 21, 2008.

This song received mixed to negative reviews. Allmusic editor Jon O'Brien didn't like the single release of the song: "Lead single "I Can Feel You" misleadingly suggests that this doesn't seem like a particularly wise decision. Written by man of the moment Ne-Yo, its promising opening funky beats and squelchy synths are let down by such a non-event of a chorus that it's hard to believe it's penned by the same man behind Rihanna's recent infectious chart hits. A prime example of using a star name just for the sake of it, it's arguably the most underwhelming comeback song of the year." Alex Fletcher of Digital Spy in album review wrote "Make Anastacia relevant to the generation brought up on Amy Winehouse and Pussycat Dolls rather than Mariah and Whitney. The low-key disco" of lead single "I Can Feel You" decent indication of Anastacia's intentions." He also compared the song to that time recent Britney Spears singles. Nick Levine of Digital Spy reviewed the single: "Sadly, 'I Can Feel You' isn't the big comeback single she needs after what in pop terms is a fairly lengthy hiatus. It begins promisingly with a lightly funky disco groove, but the chorus lacks the oomph that turned 'Left Outside Alone' and 'I'm Outta Love' into radio favourites." and gave it 2 out of 5 stars. Ian Gittins of Virgin Media praised vocal performance: "Her asbestos larynx is in full effect on Heavy Rotation, rasping through R&B-hued lead-off single "I Can Feel You."

The music video had its official premiere on September 14, 2008. Directed by Chris Applebaum and filmed in Los Angeles, the video consists of Anastacia in four different settings, having no real concept. The first is Anastacia in a smoky alley wearing a silver dress, dancing and hopping around. The second is Anastacia in black leather pants, laying on a chair, surrounded by green lights. The third setting includes Anastacia fully naked in a bathtub, covering her breasts with her hands and arms. The final setting is Anastacia wearing a second silver dress and a huge feather boa, dancing and singing in front of a wall. These four settings are intertwined with backstage footage of the videoshoot, including footage of Anastacia's husband, sister and her dogs.
