Cian Ducrot’s latest single, “Who’s Making You Feel It,” is an exhilarating blend of timeless piano pop and heartfelt storytelling, proving yet again why the GRAMMY®-nominated singer-songwriter is one of the most relatable voices in modern music. Known for his ability to channel vulnerability into intimacy, Cian takes a bold step with this track, unveiling a sound that is as grand as it is emotionally incisive.
Debuting the song in spectacular fashion during his New Year’s Eve performance at Dublin Castle — broadcast live across Ireland mere moments before the midnight countdown — Ducrot delivered an unforgettable launch for this effervescent anthem. Despite its subject matter — a candid confrontation with an ex who has moved on — the song carries a buoyant energy that feels equal parts cathartic and celebratory.
From the first piano chord to the soaring chorus, “Who’s Making You Feel It” radiates playful charm. Lines like “Did he promise you a UFO? ‘Cause I know that you’ve been asking for a bit of space” strike the perfect balance between wit and raw emotion, encapsulating the universal sting of jealousy and curiosity post-breakup. Co-written with Theo Hutchcraft and produced alongside GRAMMY® winner Lostboy, the track channels the golden-era exuberance of Elton John while maintaining a fresh, contemporary sheen.
Cian’s foray into choreography for the accompanying music video, directed by Jasmine De Silva, adds a visual layer of sophistication to the track. Filmed in Hungary, the video melds classic Hollywood glamour with modern storytelling, showcasing the singer-songwriter’s most ambitious visual project to date.
On the thematic core of the song, Cian explains, “It’s about that nagging need to know who’s filling the void you left, paired with a sarcastic hope that they’ve truly gotten everything they wanted after leaving you.” This relatability is one of the many reasons Ducrot’s music resonates so deeply with his audience.
The release caps off an extraordinary streak for the Cork native. With his debut album, Victory, reaching No. 1 in the UK and Ireland, viral hits like “All For You” and “I’ll Be Waiting,” and a GRAMMY® nod for co-writing SZA’s “Saturn,” Ducrot has firmly established himself as a force to be reckoned with.
“Who’s Making You Feel It” is truly an experience and a reminder that even in heartbreak, there’s room for joy, humour, and, above all, growth. With its infectious melody and universal appeal, it’s destined to become another standout in Ducrot’s already stellar catalogue.
