Songfacts®:

  • This is the title track and lead single from Feist's fifth album. The record was co-produced by the singer's longtime collaborators Renaud Letang and Mocky. Feist explained to Genius the meaning behind the song and album:

    "I made this record last winter with two of my closest friends, Mocky and Renaud Letang. I was raw and so were the takes. Our desire was to record that state without guile or go-to's and to pin the songs down with conviction and our straight up human bodies.

    I titled the album Pleasure like I was planting a seed or prophesizing some brightness. The experience of pleasure is mild or deep, sometimes temporal, sometimes a sort of low grade lasting, usually a motivator. If the way you look at things is how they look then my motivation is to look with a brighter eye."
