Released in 1981 as the third single from Triumph, "Can You Feel It" stands as one of The Jacksons' most ambitious and inspiring songs. Written by brothers Michael Jackson and Jackie Jackson, the track combines infectious disco-funk grooves with a powerful message of love, compassion, and global unity. Built around soaring vocals, a driving rhythm section, and a massive orchestral arrangement, the song encouraged listeners to imagine a world where people cared for one another regardless of race, nationality, or background.
While it reached the Top 10 in several countries and became a dance floor favorite, its greatest legacy has been its timeless message. The groundbreaking music video—filled with cinematic special effects that were remarkable for the early MTV era—helped cement the song as one of The Jacksons' signature recordings. More than four decades later, "Can You Feel It" remains a celebration of hope, togetherness, and the belief that music has the power to bring people together.
