"Wonderful" is a song by Annie Lennox, released as the third and last single from her album Bare in 2004. It was released as a CD single and 12 inch single in the United States and only as a promotional single elsewhere. The single topped the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart for a week and became her fifth number one on that chart. No music video was made for this song.

2. "Pavement Cracks" (Goldtrix Full Vocal Mix) - 6:34
3. "A Thousand Beautiful Things" (Gabriel & Dresden Tech Funk Mix) - 9:03
The song had mixed critical reception. Thom Jurek of Allmusic made the song a "Track Pick" off Bare, called it "one of Lennox's trademark ballads", and praised the song's lyrics and its "Hall & Oates-styled Philly soul refrain". Meanwhile, Rolling Stone's Anthony Decurtis wrote that "the thumping funk chorus of 'Wonderful,' for example, sounds forced" and called it a "misstep".
