Nothing Feels Good is the second studio album by American rock band the Promise Ring, released on October 14, 1997. The Promise Ring's lineup at the time of recording comprised Davey von Bohlen on vocals and guitar, Jason Gnewikow on guitar, Scott Beschta on bass guitar, and Dan Didier on drums. Produced by J. Robbins, the album marked a shift in the band's sound, refining to a more pop aesthetic while retaining their emo sound.

Nothing Feels Good was recorded at Easley McCain Recording in June 1997. After the recording finished, Beschta was replaced by Tim Burton due to Beschta's conflicts with Didier. The band would promote the album with a US tour with Compound Red in September and October 1997, with additional tours happening through November 1997 with Jimmy Eat World and Roadside Monument.

The album has gained a cult following and is regarded as one of the most influential records of the emo genre. The title of the album was used as the name of the book Nothing Feels Good: Punk Rock, Teenagers, and Emo by Andy Greenwald.
