Fetty Wap and CVBZ to take the stage at Jimmy Kimmel Live! to perform their single, "Feels Great."
"Feeling of Falling" marks the first time the two artists have joined forces and wrangles with falling in love. Matt of Cheat Codes elaborates, "The feeling of falling in love is great but it's hard not to think about or compare it to past experiences of heart break. It puts you in a really vulnerable place. It can be the best thing but also the worst."
Of the single, powerhouse Kim Petras details, "Feeling of Falling is a song about ending up brokenhearted and trying to stay away from love to protect yourself. I'm the biggest emo so I really connected to the song! Cheat Codes are amazing and I've had the best time collaborating on this one."
