"Connected" is the title track and first single from the British group Stereo MCs third studio album released in 1992.
The song samples "Let Me (Let Me Be Your Lover)" by Jimmy "Bo" Horne.
"Connected" peaked at number eighteen on the UK Singles Chart. Internationally, it peaked within the top ten of the charts in Austria and Switzerland and peaked within the top twenty of the charts in the United States. The song appeared in the movie Hackers, starring Angelina Jolie and Jonny Lee Miller. Rob Lowe personally chose the song to be the theme to his 2004 program Dr. Vegas. It also appears in the movie, Saving Silverman. It has also been used in commercials promoting the USA Network's program Burn Notice and by the Carphone Warehouse.
"I remember performing the track in late 1992," vocalist Rob Birch told Q. "The Brixton Academy was just around the corner from our neighbourhood in London, near where we recorded the album. We were supporting the Happy Mondays for their UK tour and at that venue it was just amazing. The Connected album had only been out for a while, and we thought people were just starting to get into it. When we came on to the intro of the track, the whole audience was singing along to the tune and there was just an amazing vibe and energy. Everyone connected, basically."
