"How Long", also released as "How Long (Will It Take)", is a song recorded by the Canadian singer Paula Toledo around 2003, known for being considered a piece of lost media for 16 years. Initially, it was not released commercially, being only licensed to appear in the film Secret Lives and the TV series 15/Love in 2005. Two years later, a user posted online about a bootleg DVD that contained a snippet of "How Long", prompting a search for its origin that attracted the attention of the lostwave community. In December 2023, the origin of "How Long" was discovered, and Toledo released it as a single that same month in response. Musically, "How Long" has been compared to the Cranberries.
