I Feel (stylized in sentence case) is the sixth Korean extended play (eighth overall) by South Korean girl group (G)I-dle. It was released by Cube Entertainment digitally on May 15, 2023, and physically the following day. It consists of three physical versions: Cat, Butterfly, and Queen. The EP contains six tracks, including the pre-released video track "Allergy"[A] and the lead single "Queencard". The group retains their reputation as a "self-produce" group by having three members Soyeon, Minnie, and Yuqi taking the lead in the album production.
The album conveys a message about self-esteem and confidence by discussing topics about finding self-confidence, loving, enjoying, and figuring out oneself as an adult, using a more light and comical style that has a less serious tone compared to the group's previous releases. Sonically, it experiments with a variety of genres such as pop rock, electro pop, pop ballad, and dream pop, with its songs incorporating newtro, rock, and minimalistic production. The album took the form of a High Teen, and a Y2K-inspired visual. It also marks the group's condition of "I" series, following I Love and I Never Die (2022).
I Feel received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who praised its catchy production, visuals, the less serious approach to its topics, and the members creative control over the production. Commercially, it debuted at number one on the Circle Chart, with over one million copies sold in its first week. The album also managed to reach the top forty in Belgium, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Scotland, Sweden, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
The album was supported by a pre-release music video for its second track, "Allergy", which peaked at number seven on Billboard Taiwan and at number 18 on the Circle Digital Chart. This was followed by the lead single "Queencard", which scored the group's third number one hit on said Chart. To promote the album, the group embarked on their second worldwide tour, I Am Free-ty World Tour, beginning in June 2023.
