About

I Found Heaven is one of the most striking reinterpretations on the Better Man soundtrack. Originally a 1992 Take That single, it is reimagined by producer Eden Prince as a pulsating dance track, accompanying the pivotal nightclub performance in which Robbie Williams begins to understand both the joy and danger of fame. The new version retains the melodic shape of the original but replaces its early-90s pop production with layered synths, deep bass and cinematic percussion.

Within the film, the sequence symbolises Williams’s first moment of true connection with an audience. The scene unfolds with exuberant choreography under flashing lights, blending nostalgia with modern club aesthetics. Prince’s version introduces a driving rhythm section, electronic brass and a rebalanced vocal mix that highlights the collective sound of the band, making it both homage and reinvention. The energy peaks during the extended instrumental break, aligning the song with the visual chaos of youthful exhilaration.

Fans and critics noted how the song’s transformation mirrors the narrative shift from innocence to experience. The remix elevates what was once a chart pop hit into a euphoric expression of liberation, the moment when ambition and belonging briefly coexist before fame takes its toll.

“It was such a beautiful experience stepping into the film world for the first time and being part of the new music for Better Man. Being from Stoke-on-Trent, just like Robbie, made this project feel even more meaningful.”Eden Prince

Vivid and expansive, I Found Heaven serves as a bridge between Williams’s boy-band past and his adult self. Its electrifying new production captures both the nostalgia of the early Take That era and the pulse of the modern dance floor, standing as one of the soundtrack’s most dynamic reinterpretations.

Lyrics

Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, yeah, woah, yeah
I thought I found love
With somebody else's girl, yeah

Walking round feeling so broken-hearted
Lost in a different world

I found heaven, sweet heaven baby
On the wings of love
Heaven, sweet heaven baby
On the wings of love

I thought you'd soon be my girl
But my imagination was running wild
I wouldn't listen to a single soul
Deep in a sense of denial

I found heaven, sweet heaven baby
On the wings of love
Heaven, sweet heaven baby
On the wings of love

I will never no I'll never
I will never lose my way again

Yeah, yeah

Oh I see heaven in your eyes with me
Oh baby
Now I will give my lovin faithfully

Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, yeah, woah, yeah

Oh yeah, my angel of love

I found heaven, sweet heaven baby
On the wings of love
Heaven, sweet heaven baby
On the wings of love

Sweet sweet baby
