The single was nominated for "Record of the Year" at the 2013 South African Music Awards, but lost to "Kulungile Baba" by Sifiso Ncwane in the category.

[3] She remarked that it is important for her to handle the production of her music as it displays her skills and sets her apart from other female musicians; unlike the majority of Zonke's catalogue, she sang "Feelings" and other tracks from Ina Ethe (2011) in the English language, instead of Xhosa.

[8] The official accompanying music video for the song was released on 27 November 2012 and was directed by Shawn Borcherding; the visual displays Zonke performing "Feelings" in a variety of different dark-toned rooms.

[10] As part of Lionel Richie's 2016 All the Hits, All Night Long world tour, it was announced in February of the same year that Zonke would open all five of the South African shows.

[14][15] During her own Give and Take Live Tour, she performed "Feelings" during the conclusion of "Spring" section of the concert, which was accompanied by her songs "When All Is Said and Done" and "Mzi Ka Phalo".
