Can't Shake the Feeling

"Can't Shake the Feeling" is a pop-dance song written by Stock Aitken Waterman for British boy band Big Fun.

Released in November 1989 with two different covers, it enjoyed decent chart trajectories in European countries, although it was unable to meet the same success than Big Fun's previous hit "Blame It on the Boogie".

The finished version of "Can't Shake the Feeling" was built around an acid house piano riff originated by Matt Aitken relatively late in the composition process, after the production team initially struggled to make earlier runs work.

[1] A review in Pan-European magazine Music & Media considered "Can't Shake the Feeling" "one of SAW's better releases", adding it was "a punchy dance number with a lot of spirit that recalls stablemate Kylie Minogue's "I Should Be So Lucky".

[2] In his 2017 book Europe's Stars of '80s Dance Pop: 32 International Music Legends Discuss Their Careers, James Arena described the song and "Blame It on the Boogie" as "breezy, infectiously catchy and high-energy dance-pop singles".
