"I've Got a Feeling" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1970 album Let It Be. It was recorded on 30 January 1969 during the Beatles' rooftop concert.[3] It is a combination of two unfinished songs: Paul McCartney's "I've Got a Feeling" and John Lennon's "Everybody Had a Hard Year". The song features Billy Preston on electric piano.
A studio take of the song, recorded about a week earlier, was released on the Anthology 3 compilation in 1996.[4] The 2003 remix album Let It Be... Naked includes a version of the song that is a composite edit of the rooftop concert take used on Let It Be and a second attempt at the song from the same concert.[5]
With Lennon's vocals isolated out during the production of Peter Jackson's Get Back documentary, McCartney performed the song live as a virtual duet on his 2022 Got Back tour.
