The actor told his friend Michael Corcoran, one of his band members,[1][2] that they should write a theme song for Drake & Josh because everyone was listening to Kravitz at the time and wanted to have a track that could be identified with the show.
Bell told Hartman the track they wrote was similar to the works of Elvis Costello and is about helping out your brother when they are feeling down.
[3][5][6][1] "I Found a Way" was originally released as the first track from the Nickelodeon show Drake & Josh's soundtrack album of the same name on February 22, 2005.
"[16] Writing for Bustle, Taylor Ferber said the theme song is "catchy AF" and opined it is "totally a perfect fit to get audiences in the upbeat mood of the show, and it's also unique in that one of its stars performed it".
[22] Bell sang the song with a fan in Fresno, California, at a meet and greet held at Heroes Comics prior to his concert in 2018.
[23] During one of his shows in 2020, the actor started to sing "I Found a Way" and stopped the crowd after they sang, "It's gonna take some time to realize."
[24] Bell also performed the song for American actor Jonathan Goldstein, who played the dad named Walter Nichols in Drake & Josh, during a 2020 reunion.
