"Feel Invincible" is the lead single from the 2016 album, Unleashed, by the American Christian rock band Skillet, and is the first track on the album.[1] It was released on June 29, 2016. The song became Skillet's first Hot Christian Songs No. 1 single.

Background

[edit]

On May 20, 2016, Feel Invincible was released as the lead single for Skillet's ninth album, Unleashed. The track is about feeling untouchable with the power of God. In an interview with Billboard, Cooper spoke on the importance of the track for the album:

"The track represents the album in one facet really well: [Unleashed] is full of crowd-chanting anthems. The album is very exciting to listen to. Driving beats and melodic choruses, whether it's hard rock or leaning toward pop. Unleashed is quite diverse -- there are more extreme songs on both sides of the spectrum, meaning harder rock and even metal, but also pop and atmospheric tunes/sounds."

The track was chosen as the theme for TBS' E-League, an eight-week live video-gaming competition broadcast in more than 80 countries.[2][3] On July 7, WWE announced that it had chosen "Feel Invincible" as an official theme for the 2016 Battleground pay-per-view event.[4]

Composition

[edit]

In an interview with iHeartRadio, Skillet revealed that "Feel Invincible" was about finding something that gets you through another day.[5]
