Overjoyed is a song by American R&B artist Stevie Wonder, released as a single in 1985 from the album In Square Circle on the Tamla label. The track, a romantic R&B ballad with quiet storm vibes, runs about 3 minutes and 41 seconds and features Wonder on lead vocal and piano, plus environmental percussion and Earl Klugh on guitar. It was originally written for the 1979 album Journey Through The Secret Life of Plants but was re recorded for In Square Circle. The single peaked at number 24 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1986 and reached number one on the US Adult Contemporary chart. An instrumental version appeared on the B side of some releases, and Wonder first performed Overjoyed on Saturday Night Live on May 7, 1983. The song has been widely covered by artists such as Diana Ross, Mary J. Blige, and Jane Monheit.
