Reception
Standing on the Shoulder of Giants was noted for its psychedelic feel, and "Who Feels Love?" was held up as the most extreme example of this. Mark Stent was praised for his production on the song, creating a "trippy" feel like that found on Beatles songs such as "Rain". However, despite the acclaimed production, the song itself was not well received by the critics, with NME stating that the production "triumphs over any real sort of feeling... pure mock Maharishi spirituality that not even Liam can salvage from the realm of self-parody".
Music video
The song's music video was shot in Death Valley, California in December 1999.
B-sides
One of the B-sides is a cover of the Beatles' "Helter Skelter". It was played live during the SOTSOG tour of 2000. Paul Weller recorded a version of B-side "One Way Road" for his covers-album Studio 150 in 2004. The Weller version was subsequently used as the theme tune to Jack Dee's sitcom Lead Balloon.
Track listings
