Steven Tyler, frontman with rock band Aerosmith, is set to debut his solo single this week on American Idol and has now revealed how the project came about. 

He explained to the Rolling Stone that he's sure '(It) Feels So Good' is "going to be a hit":

"I can hear it coming out of people's cars this summer. I'm a fool for melody, man. I've got to have melody. I miss it, and there it is."

The singer also admitted that he tried to get the record onto an Aerosmith album, and added:

"I wrote the song at the Sunset Marquis in Los Angeles a few years ago"

"They (Aerosmith) didn't like it, so I just kept it for the last couple of years."

He will unveil the track on Thursday, May 12 on the popular music talent contest and you can watch his cover shoot interview with Rolling Stone here:
