"I Found You" is a song by American producer Benny Blanco and Scottish DJ Calvin Harris. It was released as a single on November 2, 2018. Blanco first mentioned the collaboration in an interview with the British radio show The Vodafone Big Top 40 in August 2018, and officially confirmed it through his Twitter in October.[5] It follows Blanco's single "Eastside" and Harris's "Promises", which both reached number one in the UK.[6] Harris provides vocals on the track, making it his first single since "My Way" in 2016 to feature his own voice.[7]

On 4 January 2019, Blanco and Harris released a charity version of the track entitled "I Found You/Nilda’s Story" with Miguel.[8][9][10][11]

Background

Blanco previously stated that he has been a fan of Harris since 2007, and that he "was always attracted to how much soul and musicality he brought to the table... he also has one of my favorite recorded voices ever.. even tho he thinks it sounds like shit... I love it!"[12] Blanco said that when they decided to work on a song together, Harris initially resisted the idea of singing on it but Blanco "wore [him] down" and he agreed.[12]

Promotion

Blanco posted a video on Instagram of himself listening back to the master of the song on his computer, revealing the title as "I Found You".[13] Harris also mentioned the upcoming release on his social media accounts in a post that included a picture of Blanco and himself.[6]
