In June 2012, it was revealed that Barbadian singer Rihanna and American actor Jim Parsons would star as the lead roles in the film Happy Smekday!, retitled to Home in June 2013. In 2014, Variety reported that, in addition to her voice role, Rihanna created a concept album for the film which was released on March 17, 2015. It was later revealed that the film's soundtrack would also include songs recorded by Charli XCX, Kiesza, and Jennifer Lopez. "Feel the Light" was written by Mikkel S. Eriksen, Tor Erik Hermansen, and Kiesza, while the production was done by the former two under their production name StarGate. Following "Towards the Sun", it was digitally released as the second single from the soundtrack on February 25, 2015 via the iTunes Store. In the film, the song was heard when Oh the Boov and his new friend Tip finally find Tip's mom (voiced by Lopez), as well as during the end credits.

In her review of the song, Bianca Gracie of Idolator wrote, "the featherlight tune (pun intended) is a beautiful and delicate mid-tempo that can be enjoyed by children and adults alike." MTV UK's Michael Pell noted, "Feel The Light is a heart-felt ballad with the video taking us through a magical journey of friendship between the wee girl and her alien pal."
