The most successful version of “I Found Someone” was released by American singer/actress Cher as the first U.S. and European single from her eighteenth and self-titled album and was released on November 19, 1987 by Geffen. The single was also released on VHS containing the concert version of the video. Cher’s power ballad version was produced by Michael Bolton. Fashion photographer Matthew Rolston’s full cover photo featured a slightly overexposed close-up of Cher’s face, gazing into the lens as she pushes back a mane of tight curls before a bright blue background.
The song debuted on the UK Singles Chart in November 1987 at number 91 and peaked at number five in January 1988 and spent thirteen weeks in the chart.
Part of a much-heralded musical comeback at the height of her movie career, a big-budget music video featured the singer-actress with her then-boyfriend Rob Camilletti. The couple were a big story in the tabloids at the time, as he was seventeen years her junior, and the video was the aspiring actor’s debut. The video was in heavy rotation on MTV and Cher’s version went to #10 in the U.S.[4] and to #5 in the UK. An alternative concert video features Cher in a dress that was also used in The Black Rose Show in 1980.
“I Found Someone” began a three-album association with Bolton and Cher’s other contributors, including Branigan alumna Diane Warren as well as Jon Bon Jovi and future boyfriend Richie Sambora, and their song-writing partner Desmond Child. The recording appears on several hits collections

Like your words that once rang true
Just like the love I thought I found in you
And I remember the thunder, talkin’ ’bout the fire in your eyes
But you walked away when I needed you most
To take away the heartache, to take away the loneliness
I’ve been feelin’ since you’ve been gone, since you’ve been gone
Someday your love will shine through
And show you the feelings you never really knew
But, baby, don’t ya lose that thunder, talkin’ ’bout the fire in your eyes
You’re lookin’ at me but you still don’t believe
To take away the heartache, to take away the loneliness
I’ve been feelin’ since you’ve been gone, since you’ve been gone
But you left me with open eyes, and when I realized, baby
I found someone to take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness I’ve been feelin’ since you’ve been gone
Baby I found someone to take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness I’ve been feelin’ since you’ve been gone
