"FOL" is a song by The Smashing Pumpkins, written and recorded during the sessions for their 2007 album Zeitgeist[1] and used for a Hyundai commercial during Super Bowl XLIII. The song title is an acronym that stands for "Feel Our Love".

The song was first announced by Hyundai for their Genesis Coupe Super Bowl commercial, debuting on February 1, in which Billy Corgan mixed Hyundai clips going to the beat of the song. On that same day, the song was released as a free download from the Hyundai website.[2][3]

It was the theme song for TNA Wrestling's premiere event of the year, Bound for Glory 2010.[4]

“FOL” remained unperformed until the Rock Invasion 2 tour during spring 2022 in which it was played with an extended blues-jam outro combined with band introductions.

Lyrics[edit | edit source]

I sense you, lord avowed
I know there's death around
I catch the damage in the air

I got the skull and bones
I lick the polished chrome
There's magic everywhere

Can I please just talk with you
Feelings deep and draining blue
A useless mind

Come on and feel our love
Come on and feel our love
Come on and feel our love
Feel our love
Come on and feel our love
Come on and feel our love
Come on and feel our love
Feel our love

Oh, Oh
Feel our love

Feel our love
If love ain't too much
Follow the white hot sun
What I've sown, I've split in half
Now it's always however you impart
Love is always on fire

A single cross to bear
The TV crews are there
Where we want with dirty knives
The night begins a waste
It's all a bit too faint
Someone kill the light

Spare me something I can do
The tower spits, I have the news
If I want I can't refuse
It's useless now

Come on and feel our love
Come on and feel our love
Come on and feel our love
Feel our love
Come on and feel our love
Come on and feel our love
Come on and feel our love
Feel our love
I know there's death above
I know there's death above
Come on and feel our love
Feel our love

Feel our love
If love ain't enough
Follow the white hot sun
Until we're back to the one
What I've sown, I split in half
So now it's always however you impart
Love is always on fire

Feel our love
Feel our love

Come on and feel our love
Come on and feel our love
Come on and feel our love
Feel our love
Come on and feel our love
Come on and feel our love
Come on and feel our love
Just feel our love
Come on and feel our love
Come on and feel our love
Come on and feel our love
Just feel our love
Come on and feel our love
Come on and feel our love
Come on and feel our love
Just feel our love
