"Wonderful" is the title track of Adam Ant's 1994 album, written by Ant with Bonnie Hayes and guitarist Marco Pirroni and produced by David Tickle. It's warm and unhurried, a mid-tempo pop song that leaves plenty of room for Ant's voice to do the work.

Pirroni and Boz Boorer share the guitars, with Bruce Witkin on bass and Dave Ruffy on drums, and the playing stays light and tasteful, strummed rather than stomped, so the melody can float free.
