"I Guess I Just Feel Like" is a 2019 song by John Mayer. It was first played at the iHeartRadio Theater in October 2018,[2][3] and released as a single on February 22, 2019.[4][5] After more than 2 years, in July 2021, the song was included on the album Sob Rock.[6]

The track finds Mayer discussing the state of the world and his own flaws, and marks a return to the artist's blues roots, with a country music vibe. Despite Mayer saying "there's nothing hit like" about the song,[7][8] "I Guess I Just Feel Like" was a successful single, reaching number 6 on the Billboard Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, number 22 on the Billboard Adult Alternative Airplay, and number 28 on the Billboard Adult Pop Airplay, while reaching instead a more modest number 94 on the Billboard Hot 100.[9] The song is also the second most-streamed song from its album, behind the lead single "New Light".[10]
