How Does It Feel Lyrics

[Intro: Chlöe]
(Sound)
(Hitmaka)
Yeah

[Chorus: Chlöe]
I gave you more than you wanted
I gave you more than you needed
So tell me, how does it feel
To lose the one you believe in?

[Verse 1: Chris Brown]
I made you drop it on a Tuesday (Drop)
I had the popcorn poppin' (Ooh), we made a movie (Pop)
So many feelings involved, the way you do me (Do)
Tell me, you ready or not? This ain't The Fugees (Fu')
Got one shot to do what it takes (Got)
Got no time for no mistakes (Mistakes)
I save a lot, 'cause I'm empty (Girl)
It shouldn't hurt me, but I let it

[Pre-Chorus: Chris Brown]
Every time you text mе
And by the time I reply, it's too latе (Late)
Now, I feel a way, way, yeah (Oh)
And I gave you more

[Chorus: Chlöe]
I gave you more than you wanted
I gave you more than you needed
So tell me, how does it feel
To lose the one you believe in?

[Verse 2: Chlöe]
Yeah, see that's the thing about trust
It's never been about us
'Cause we were doin' too much
We threw the racks out at Follies
Gave you the key where my heart beat
You didn't say it, but you said it
It shouldn't have hurt me, but I let it

[Pre-Chorus: Chlöe, Chris Brown]
Every time we're alone now
I feel like things are not the same
Now I feel a way, oh-woah, oh-oh
Every time you text me
And by the time I reply, it's too late
Something's gettin' in the way
And I gave you more

[Chorus: Chlöe & Chris Brown, Chlöe, Chris Brown]
I gave you more than you wanted (I gave you more than what you wanted, babe)
I gave you more than you needed (Alright)
So tell me, how does it feel (How does it feel, baby?)
To lose the one you believe in?

[Outro: Chlöe]
Pom, pom-pom-pom, pom-pom, pom-pom, pom-pom-pom
Pom-pom-pom, pom-pom, pom-pom, pom-pom-pom
Pom-pom-pom, pom-pom, pom-pom, pom-pom-pom
Pom-pom-pom, pom-pom

On February 16, 2023, the single was first announced on Chlöe’s Twitter and was faced with backlash for collaborating with Chris Brown, due to his turbulent past. A few days later, Chris voiced his love and support for Chlöe and the track they made together on his Instagram:

24th ❤️ @chloebailey you are a beautiful soul… TAKE OVER THE WORLD SHAWTY and DONT LOOK BACK🙏🏽! YOU ARE A QUEEN! DONT LET NOBODY TELL YOU NO DIFFERENT! You followed your dreams and now the universe is fulfilling that manifestation 🙏🏽❤️

Later that same day, a snippet was first teased in a TikTok video with a behind the scenes taken from the In Pieces' video shoot.

Is about longing for the one who you knew had your back the most, who loves you unconditionally the most, So it’s saying, I’ve woken up out of this daze of constantly putting you before me, constantly putting you before my feelings, and I’m OK with walking away. So how does it feel knowing that you lost me?
