There’s no build-up. Ruby Mae arrives mid-thought and expects you to keep up.
Released 13th February 2026, “Make You Feel Good” is a song about recognising when someone is drowning in their own drama and choosing to pull them out of it.
That’s the whole premise. More of an intervention with a bassline than a straightforward love song.
The Stafford-born singer-songwriter recorded the track with co-writers Glen Roberts (Olivia Dean, Rachel Chinouriri) and Rich Turvey (Blossoms, The Coral).
“Writing these songs was a moment of ‘ohhh this is the music I want to make,'” she’s said of the sessions.
Acoustic guitar, electric texture, and electronic pulse all share the same space. The Northern Soul and Motown influence feels absorbed, baked into the tempo and the way the rhythm sits.
Her voice is locked into the groove. When she hits “not just anybody, somebody who can make you feel good,” she means it and you feel it.
There’s a lightness to it, the kind that actually shifts your mood rather than just describing a good one. She’s not offering comfort from a distance. She’s standing in the room.
Her debut single “Putting It Off” kept its distance, circling around doubt. This one moves. It shakes off the drama and heads straight for the door.
“Make You Feel Good” is the second single from her debut EP Movement, out 20th March 2026.
Whether it ends up the centrepiece of that record or just the warmest thing on it, right now it’s doing its job.
