It was written and produced by Gambino and his longtime collaborator Ludwig Göransson. The song was made available for digital download and streaming along with "Summertime Magic" as a part of the extended play Summer Pack. It is featured on the FIFA 19 soundtrack. It later appeared on his fourth album, 3.15.20, under the title "42.26". The song received a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Song at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards.


    Music video


    A music video for "Feels Like Summer" was released on September 1, 2018. It was directed by Glover, Ivan Dixon and Greg Sharp. In the animated video, Gambino walks calmly through a neighborhood watching all of his neighbors playing during the summer as well as stopping to have dream sequences. The neighbors are all famous rappers or modern black figures that consist of (in order and group):

    Lil Pump and Trippie Redd running around the neighborhood
    21 Savage and Metro Boomin smoking in a car
    Kodak Black sticking his head out of the window to turn away Pump and Redd
    Migos playing basketball
    Birdman grilling while Chance the Rapper watches Jaden Smith playing
    Will Smith washing his car while Azealia Banks sits above him in a tree
    Nicki Minaj playing with blocks as Travis Scott knocks them over
    The Weeknd, Ty Dolla $ign and Frank Ocean playing tug of war against ASAP Rocky, Solange and Willow Smith
    Soulja Boy speaking with Pump and Redd
    Future riding away on a bike from Drake, who chases after him
    Kid Cudi standing silent and dejected
    Kanye West, crying while wearing a Make America Great Again hat, and being comforted by Michelle Obama
    Beyoncé wearing a shirt paying tribute to Fredo Santana
    Andrew Gillum with a melting cup of ice cream representing XXXTentacion
    Lil Uzi Vert and Zendaya (or Kehlani) having their hair done by Oprah Winfrey and Tiffany Haddish
    Lil Yachty and Charlamagne Tha God eating popsicles
    Gucci Mane laying on his back relaxing
    Dr. Dre, Sean Combs, Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa and Jay-Z dancing next to Mane
    Lonzo, LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball playing a video game while Young Thug does the same behind them
    2 Chainz taking a group shot of Meek Mill, Pusha T and Lil Wayne
    Rae Sremmurd blasting water guns at the past three and J. Cole
    Janelle Monáe and SZA skateboarding
    Chris Brown crying
    Outkast (Big Boi and André 3000) facing away from each other, possibly representing their breakup
    Rihanna floating in a crossed leg pose
    Whitney Houston (So Emotional single cover, 1987)
    Michael Jackson (circa the 1970s)
    The large amount of celebrities featured in the music video is juxtaposed against the environmentally-focused lyrics of the song, a contrast seen by some as deliberate; the video distracts from the song, in similar fashion to how some are so focused on celebrities and their personal lives that they forget more pressing issues in the world, such as climate change. This is not too dissimilar from the music video to Gambino's earlier 2018 hit, ‘This Is America’, where Gambino and a crew of backup dancers perform distracting, choreographed dances and shooting a church choir while the background of the video and lyrics to the song are loaded with political commentary and carnage.
    A follow-up video shows the animated Gambino walking into his house (which seems to partially resemble, or at least invoke, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood) and taking off his shoes to a new pair of Adidas. This was used to announce Glover's role as an ambassador and "brand co-creator" for the corporation.
