A track that samples The Marvelettes "Please Mr. Postman"

I keep hearing this song on the radio but I can't for the life of me find it on the internet. It's a dance track, quite upbeat, with a sample of The Marvelettes song "Please Mister Postman," or at least a cover of that song, because the vocals are almost definitely not the original.
They've played it on our local hip-hop station, and our college radio station, but I haven't been able to find it on either of their websites' playlists. They played a clip of it at Camden Yards yesterday, too, but the OPACY website only has the players' walk-up music. I've ruled out most of what comes up if you google various iterations of the lyrics + cover, remix, sample, etc. It's not the Rod Lee remix, although that song rules. I fear I may be driven to madness trying to find it. Does anyone have any idea?

No idea what the song is, but, couldn't you download the Shazam app to your phone and see if it can identify the song?

This one? Not credited on that video, but it's DJ Technics apparently.

This makes me think of Melanie Martinez - Pity Party... which includes the chorus of It's My Party and I'll Cry if I Want To.... is that possible?

Best answer: I came here to say it's definitely "Feel It Still," and stresstwig beat me to it. A lot of people have remarked on the similarities, and the band talked about it in an interview:
