"Finally Found You" is a song by Spanish singer Enrique Iglesias, released on 20 September 2012. It was later included on the international deluxe edition of his tenth studio album Sex and Love. The track features vocals from rapper Sammy Adams. Both artists co-wrote the song with Jacob Luttrell, R3hab, Fabian Lenssen, Yoan Chirescu, Raphaël Judrin, and Pierre-Antoine Melki. The latter two, known together as soFLY & Nius, are also the producers. Another version featuring Puerto Rican reggaeton singer Daddy Yankee was released for Latin market.
"Finally Found You" is a dance-pop, electro house song about a guy finding the love of his life at a club and declaring to never her let go. The song received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who despite calling it too similar to his old hits, called it a euphoric track, matching his heartthrob persona with pulsing beats. Commercially, the song reached the top twenty in Canada and the top forty in Australia, Spain and United States, also topping the Dance Club Songs chart.
The video, released on VEVO, starts with an innocent game of hide and seek between a young Iglesias and his sweetheart, while life quickly fast-forwards to the artist strutting into a nightclub where he unexpectedly reunites with his childhood love for a very different and naughty game. Enrique performed the track on the iHeart Radio Festival and Jingle Ball.
After achieving success with his ninth studio album, Euphoria (2010), mainly with its singles "I Like It" and "Tonight (I'm Lovin' You)", Iglesias released the song "I Like How It Feels" (2011) as the intended lead single from a reissue of Euphoria. However, the release was cancelled after the moderate success of the song on the charts. In January 2012, Enrique was involved in a remix of the song, entitled "I Like (The Remix)", which features Pitbull and Afrojack. In August, Enrique premiered "Finally Found You", with the single being available to download from the US iTunes store on 25 September, while in the UK it was released on 10 December. According to Iglesias, the song makes him "feel like a kid again." An alternative version, featuring Puerto Rican reggaeton singer Daddy Yankee, was recorded for the Latin market.
