"Finally Found" is the debut single of British girl group Honeyz. It was released on 24 August 1998 by Mercury and 1st Avenue as the lead single from their debut album, Wonder No. 8 (1998). The song was their most successful single in the UK and worldwide, peaking at number four on the UK Singles Chart and earning platinum status in Australia, where it peaked at number three. It reached the top 20 in Denmark, Ireland, New Zealand, and Sweden.
The song was given a slightly different mix for single release, titled the "Rude Boy Mix". This mix adds background instrumentation and more backing vocals during the song while omitting the instrumental intro and spoken French towards the end of the album version. The single was digitized, along with all other official Honeyz singles, for release on digital music stores and streaming services on 14 May 2021. The "Finally Found" single included all officially released versions of the song, plus a previously unused "radio edit" which is a different mix from both the single and album versions.[3]
The group performed the song in 2005 for the ITV series Hit Me, Baby, One More Time, performed with the original lineup (Célena Cherry, Heavenli Denton and Naima Belkhiati).
