"Wonderful" is the lead single from rapper Ja Rule's 2004 album R.U.L.E.. The song features American pop-R&B singers R. Kelly and Ashanti. Hype Williams directed the music video.

On Ashanti's album Concrete Rose there was a remix featuring R. Kelly's chorus, Ja Rule's two verses from the original, and then a new Ashanti verse exclusively on the remix. The remix cut out R. Kelly's verse.
