**FEiN** single featuring **Mike Funk**, co-written by **Luke Francis Walton** and **Brandon Michael Woodward**. ISRC **TCACQ1735079** (SoundExchange), in the same **TCAC\*** registration cluster as [*Don't Leave Me Alone (Feat. Noreen)*](/songs/dont-leave-me-alone-feat-noreen/), [*It's Alright*](/songs/its-alright/), and [*P.A.R.T.S.*](/songs/p-a-r-t-s/). Post-*Little Homes* return single (**2017**, ℗ Tiny Giant).

[Fresh Beats 365](https://freshbeats365.com/2017/01/30/fein-mike-funk-the-disco-listen/) (**Jan 30, 2017**, Tom Roden) framed it as FEiN's re-emergence after going quiet post-*Little Homes* (**2016**): a Mike Funk collaboration that *arguably overshadows most of the band's album* — traditional disco melodies with contemporary funk guitars and a *fiercely frantic* tempo, in the vein of the Christofi collab lane but with FEiN's usual self-aware wit on the disco-revival juxtaposition. [ReverbNation Blog](https://web.archive.org/web/20220628192349/https://blog.reverbnation.com/2017/01/27/spotify-playlists-dragon-ball-z-and-collabs-an-interview-with-fein/) (**Jan 27, 2017**) opened the same post-*Little Homes* window — headline *Spotify Playlists, Dragon Ball Z, and Collabs* — with Christofi × *The Disco* and Luke on the *fourth writer* ghost in collabs (*Writing 'The Disco' was terrifying*). On **#Grownupz** viral stats Luke answered: *Hashtags and the letter z. #DragonBallZ*. See [Dragon Ball $d spine](/catalog/#dragon-ball-spine). The indexed **Mike Funk** single landed days later on Fresh Beats. See also [*Marry You On the Dance Floor*](/songs/marry-you-on-the-dance-floor/) (Christofi × FEiN SoundCloud collab). Roden's [**Feb 2017 *It's Alright* review**](https://freshbeats365.com/2017/02/18/listen-fein-its-alright-review/) opened with *for the second month in a row, FEiN has demonstrated that it is a musical force to be reckoned with* — this was the first of those two consecutive Fresh Beats months.
