The song lashes out against mass marketing and individualism, while suggesting that there are deeper, more worthwhile things to possess than money and luxury items.

Music video

The official music video for “I Got Soul” was directed by Douglas Quill, who had previously worked with Eamon on R.A. the Rugged Man’s “Still Get Through the Day”, a song Eamon was featured on. The music video for "I Got Soul" is a one-shot, also known as a "one-take" or "oner".[1] It was shot over one night in August 2017 in the Antelope Valley, a desert-like setting on the outskirts of L.A. County.

In June 2017, Eamon approached Quill about shooting a music video that takes place at a "Golden Rail Motel", the concept behind his album of the same title. Quill went on to write a treatment that features Eamon returning to a seedy, 1970's-style motel, following him from room to room, greeting his fellow "down on their luck" residents as he performs the song.
