Chart Success and Live History
"Feeling This" was released as a single on October 2, 2003. The song was the first to be released immediately through digital distribution (iTunes). A slightly different version of the song had been released previously as part of the soundtrack for the video game Madden NFL 2004 under the erroneous title "Action". Barker explained in an interview that "'Action' just sounded kind of dorky to us. Like we would always call it 'Feeling This' and then someone at our label, I think, like wrote it as 'Action' one time and sent out singles to people. And it was always supposed to be 'Feeling This'." The band picked "Feeling This" as the first single because it was representative of the transition the band had undergone since Take Off Your Pants and Jacket.
"Feeling This" was a large success, peaking high at number 2 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. The song reached number 15 in the United Kingdom.
