Cian Ducrot Shares Single + Video “Who’s Making You Feel It”
Today, Cian Ducrot kicks off 2025 with “Who’s Making You Feel It,” a relatable and joyous piece of classic piano pop. The GRAMMY®-nominated Irish singer-songwriter is beloved for his ability to channel big feelings into intimate music. With his new single, he maintains that signature rawness but unveils a timeless sound that’s larger than life.
Cian debuted the song during his monumental New Year’s Eve show at Dublin Castle, which was broadcast live across Ireland, mere seconds before the countdown. It was a fittingly celebratory launch — while “Who’s Making You Feel It” is a missive to an ex who’s moved on, there’s a playfulness that extends from the soaring chorus down to winking lines like, “Did he promise you a UFO? ‘Cause I know that you’ve been asking for a bit of space.”
Said Cian, “The song is basically one big, ‘Tell me, is this new guy better than me?’” “It’s about how we all find ourselves stalking our exes even if we say we don’t. And when you inevitably notice them moving on, that feeling of jealousy and curiosity pops up and you just need to know, ‘Who is it? Who’s making you feel better than I did?’ Or, ‘I notice it looks like your life is amazing and you’re really making the most of it all, but also DO YOU MISS MEEEE?!’ It’s also a bit sarcastic in a way, asking this person if they got everything they dreamed of after leaving you and saying you ‘hope’ they did. It finally feels like the beginning of a new chapter I’ve been so eager to find and a part of me I’ve been so eager to express and discover! Creating music without walls or limits or any boundaries has allowed me to be so much more creative and to really create from a place of complete freedom! I hope you love this song and how it makes you feel as much as I do!”
Cian wrote and produced “Who’s Making You Feel It” alongside GRAMMY® winner Lostboy (Calvin Harris, Kylie Minogue), with additional writing from Theo Hutchcraft (Louis Tomlinson). The uplifting charm of the song is complemented by a similar aesthetic in what is Cian’s most ambitious visual to date. Filmed in Hungary and directed by Jasmine De Silva, the video sees Cian Ducrot embracing choreography and movement in a way that brings a touch of classic Hollywood glamour into his world.
The new music follows a huge year for Cian that included a history-making performance at Dublin’s intercontinental Portal sculpture, opening for Calum Scott’s North American The Songbook So Far Tour, and scoring a 2025 GRAMMY® nomination for Best R&B Song for co-writing (and singing backup vocals on) SZA’s smash hit “Saturn.” In honor of his songwriting Cian also received the ASCAP Vanguard Award in 2024.
Hailing from Cork, Ireland, Cian emerged as one of 2023’s biggest breakouts thanks to his acclaimed debut LP, Victory, which went straight to No. 1 in the UK and Ireland. Featuring the UK Platinum-certified viral sensation “All For You” and the Gold-certified “I’ll Be Waiting” (both Top 20 hits), Victory also included deeply personal standouts like “Heaven,” winner of the RTÉ Choice Music Prize for Irish Song of the Year. He’s since amassed over 1.3 billion global streams powered in part by his tremendous socials engagement and recent releases like breakup ballad “Can’t Even Hate You” and the stirring folk-pop gem “something I can’t afford.”
Cian has also proven himself live, bringing his heart-on-sleeve lyrics and a voice that contains multitudes of emotions to every performance, whether sparking choir-backed flash mobs in malls and trains, supporting Ed Sheeran or Jess Glynne on tour, appearing at festivals like Wales’ In It Together, or playing to 36,000 fans across a pair of headlining shows in Dublin and Cork last year. In February Cian, will support Teddy Swims across his European/UK tour. View full itinerary here and stay tuned as Cian shares more music and pulls back the curtain on an exciting new era.
