"Favourite Things" is a single released in 2003 by the UK hip hop/R&B group Big Brovaz. The single is a track on Big Brovaz's 2002 debut album, Nu-Flow. Nu-Flow was re-released for a third time only six weeks after the previous re-issue to include "Favourite Things", which was not contained on either of the previous two issues of the album.

"Favourite Things" became Big Brovaz' third UK top ten hit, peaking at number two and spending three months inside the top seventy-five of the UK Singles Chart.[1] It is their highest charting single in the UK. Despite "OK" being a failure in Australia, "Favourite Things" returned the group to the top ten of the Australian singles chart, peaking at number three, matching the peak of the group's debut single "Nu Flow", and receiving a Gold certification.[2]

The song received positive reviews and one of the reasons for the song's relative success is the fact that it is based upon a popular song from the musical The Sound of Music, "My Favourite Things". The single follows the same basic tune of the original song, and focuses on typically expensive and glamorous objects that the women of the group are wanting, such as diamonds, rubies, expensive cars such as Bentleys and designer clothes such as Gucci - this is ironic, as the song that it is based on typically focusses on thoroughly simple and non-glamorous pleasures. The group also recorded a version of the original "My Favourite Things" song, including it as a bonus hidden track on their debut album and also featuring it on the CD single of "Favourite Things".

The video for the song consists mainly of the group at a funfair with bright lights and a merry-go-round.
