Feels So Good is the second studio album by girl group Atomic Kitten. It was released by Virgin Records on 9 September 2002. Their first fully original album featuring Jenny Frost, it was initially developed in collaboration with Atomic Kitten founders Andy McCluskey and Stuart Kershaw, but the group parted ways with them prior to the album's release amid creative differences and contractual disputes, enlisting additional contributors, including Bill Padley, Ian Masterson, Jem Godfrey, Steve Anderson, Terry Ronald, Rob Davis, and the Norwegian production team Stargate.
The album received mixed reviews, with some critics praising its playful chemistry and standout disco‑influenced tracks, while others criticized its production as formulaic and repetitive. Feels So Good surpassed Atomic Kitten's debut Right Now (2000), selling 1.5 million copies and debuting at number one in the United Kingdom, making them the second girl group to top both singles and albums charts simultaneously. It also achieved international success, reaching the top ten or twenty across Europe and New Zealand and earning multiple platinum certifications.
The singles from Feels So Good achieved significant commercial success, with "It's OK!" peaking at number three in the UK, the Brit Award-nominated Paragons cover "The Tide Is High (Get the Feeling)" topping multiple national charts and receiving platinum and gold certifications, and "The Last Goodbye" reaching number one in the Czech Republic. The album was further promoted with the simultaneous release of the book Atomic Kitten: So Good, So Far by Ian McLeish, in which the girl group gave an insight look into their early career, as well as their Be with Us Tour, which ran from 2002 to 2003.
