Cian Ducrot begins his impactful new era in 2025, starting with today’s release of his new single ‘Who’s Making You Feel It’.
‘Who’s Making You Feel It’ follows Cian’s recent first Grammy nomination as the co-writer of SZA’s smash hit, ‘Saturn’, and arrives alongside the news that the 27-year-old Cork native will be supporting Grammy-nominated Teddy Swims on his European and UK tour throughout February and March.
‘Who’s Making You Feel It’ feels like an invigorating evolution in Cian’s style from his debut album. The bright, spacious piano melody that opens the song brings to mind the timelessness of early Elton John, but with a contemporary, radio-friendly twist when the flighty, punchy chorus soars to the stratosphere. Fans have come to love Cian for his emotionally-charged lyricism, but there’s a subtle evolution on that front too: where he would previously strike direct at the heart of the sentiment, now there’s a playfulness to his words which brings a fresh sense of character to his songwriting.

Cian says: “The song is basically one big, ‘Tell me, is this new guy better than me?’ It’s about how we all find ourselves stalking our exes even if we say we don’t. And when you inevitably notice them moving on, that feeling of jealousy and curiosity pops up and you just need to know, ‘Who is it? Who’s making you feel better than I did?’ Or, ‘I notice it looks like your life is amazing and you’re really making the most of it all, but also DO YOU MISS MEEEE?!’ It’s also a bit sarcastic in a way, asking this person if they got everything they dreamed of after leaving you and saying you ‘hope’ they did.
“It finally feels like the beginning of a new chapter I’ve been so eager to find and a part of me I’ve been so eager to express and discover! Creating music without walls or limits or any boundaries has allowed me to be so much more creative and to really create from a place of complete freedom! I hope you love this song and how it makes you feel as much as I do!”
Cian first introduced ‘Who’s Making You Feel It’ on the biggest of stages. He debuted the song during his huge New Year’s Eve show at Dublin Castle, which was broadcast live across Ireland. Cian wrote the song with Theo Hutchcraft (Calvin Harris, Louis Tomlinson) and the Grammy winner Lostboy (Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding’s ‘Miracle’, Kylie Minogue’s ‘Padam Padam’), who also produced it.
The uplifting charm of the song is complemented by a similar aesthetic in what is Cian’s most ambitious visual to date. It sees Cian embracing playful choreography and movement in a way that brings a touch of classic Hollywood glamour into his world. Filmed in Hungary, the video was directed by Jasmine De Silva, and was produced by Rhory Danniells for Intergalactic Studios.
