"I Can't Describe (The Way I Feel)" is a song by the American singer Jennifer Hudson, released worldwide on September 24, 2013, as the lead single from her third album, JHUD (2014). The song was originally intended to be recorded by Miley Cyrus, during sessions for her album, Bangerz, with the rap verse performed by Tyler, The Creator.[1] However, the track was not finalized or approved for the album. Hudson sang it instead, with the rap verse performed by American rapper T.I. The song, which was produced by American musician Pharrell Williams, is an uptempo 1970s- and 1980s-inspired dance ballad that is reminiscent of Evelyn King's disco songs "I'm in Love" and "Love Come Down".[2]
