On 11 July 2017, Galantis shared a preview of "True Feeling" on social media, alongside the announcement of the upcoming studio album's title and the single's release date.
[2][4] David Rishty of Billboard magazine wrote: "In true Galantis fashion, their latest output embraces warm pads, bright percussion and soaring vocals that confidently skate between dance and pop."
The lyrics pair well with the steady build of the production, breaking into a lighthearted drop that ties together tropical notes, upbeat percussion and smooth vocals.
"[6] Rajrishi Murthi of the Bangin Beats wrote: "Mesmerizing male vocals take over the proceedings before being joined by airy chords which dominate the breaks.
With a subtle percussive work on offer, the buildup leaves us to the climax with a playful, bouncy lead fit for the ongoing summer season.
