Background and release
Seven months after Red Velvet released their sixth EP Queendom, it was reported that the group was preparing new music. On February 18, 2022, SM Entertainment announced that the group would be releasing a new album the following month. The title of the EP, The ReVe Festival 2022 – Feel My Rhythm, was confirmed on March 2. "Feel My Rhythm" was set for official digital release on March 21, 2022, along with the EP. On March 18, the music video teaser was released; the 30-second clip opens with the melody of "Air" as dancers dressed in "creepy" bird-inspired outfits waltz around the group. The dark scene features psychedelic references and classical music in the background. The music video for the song was also inspired by "Air" and produced in the form of an opera that pays homage to a famous artwork. Composition

"Feel My Rhythm" was composed by Jake K, Maria Marcus, Andreas Öberg, and MCK, while the lyrics were written by Seo Ji-eum. Musically, it is a dance-pop song that samples the Bach arrangement "Air", featuring "delicate" and "elegant" string melodies, "intense" trap beats, and "fantastic" vocal charm. The song draws inspiration from Bach and ballet, blending modern pop sensibilities with classical music. It was composed in the key of C-sharp major, with a tempo of 158 beats per minute, while the lyrics vividly unravel one's journey to enjoy themselves freely through time and space along with the song.
