"Djadja" is a song by French and Malian singer Aya Nakamura, released on 6 April 2018, as the lead single off her second studio album Nakamura (2018). It reached number one in France, the Netherlands and Romania. The music video for the song was shot in Barcelona, Spain.

On 7 April 2018, two official remixes of the song were released, one featuring Swiss-Kosovan rapper Loredana Zefi and the other featuring British singer Afro B. The third remix featuring Colombian singer Maluma was released on June 12, 2020. In November 2020, Nakamura and Maluma performed the remix live for the MTV Europe Music Awards from separate places due to the COVID-19 restrictions.[1]

In July 2026, the song became a viral audio on the social media app TikTok, with users adding clips of the song’s music video to humorous videos related to the French language.
