🎵 About the Song

With “Can’t Stop the Feeling,” T. J. Sparkes delivered one of his most infectious and confident performances — a perfect bridge between early-’80s funk and the sleeker blue-eyed soul sound that would dominate the latter half of the decade. The track pulses at 104 BPM, driven by punchy Linn-style drums, a snappy slap-bass groove, and clean rhythm-guitar chops that recall the radio-ready polish of 1987’s finest grooves.

A brief, melodic guitar solo intro sets the tone before Sparkes’s smooth tenor slides in with effortless phrasing and flirtatious energy. FM-synth stabs and analog string pads color the choruses, while the gated snare reverb and wide stereo backing vocals give the mix its unmistakable late-’80s sheen.

Lyrically, Sparkes rides the rush of irresistible attraction — love as pure momentum, impossible to slow down. Every section tightens around the hook, with the bridge breaking into a playful call-and-response before returning to the climactic final chorus and a fade-out vamp that keeps the groove alive long after the needle lifts.

It’s slick, soulful, and just the right amount of sweaty — a dance-floor burner from a singer who knew how to fuse funk and pop without losing an ounce of heart.

Lyrics:

Every time you walk into the room
Something changes, like the sun breaks through
Got me spinning in a different way
Never felt like this until today

You're taking over, body and soul
Losing my composure, out of control
Can't fight this magic, pulling me in
Ready to surrender, let it begin

Can't stop the feeling when you're close to me
Can't stop the feeling, it's my destiny
You got me rising like the morning tide
Can't stop the feeling deep inside
Can't stop, can't stop, can't stop the feeling tonight

When you touch me everything stands still
Heart is racing, electric thrill
Never knew that love could move this fast
Every moment better than the last

You're taking over, body and soul
Losing my composure, out of control
Can't fight this magic, pulling me in
Ready to surrender, let it begin

Can't stop the feeling when you're close to me
Can't stop the feeling, it's my destiny
You got me rising like the morning tide
Can't stop the feeling deep inside
Can't stop, can't stop, can't stop the feeling tonight

(Yeah, can you feel it baby?)
When the rhythm takes us higher
(Talk to me now)
Burning like a sweet desire
No turning back, we're flying free
You and me, it's meant to be

Can't stop the feeling when you're close to me
Can't stop the feeling, it's my destiny
You got me rising like the morning tide
Can't stop the feeling deep inside

Can't stop the feeling, it's taking hold
Can't stop the feeling, worth more than gold
You got me moving to your melody
Can't stop the feeling, you're all I need
Can't stop, can't stop, can't stop the feeling tonight

(Can't stop... can't stop...)
