"Uh La La La" is a song recorded by the Italian singer Alexia released in 1997 featuring additional vocals by an uncredited male rapper. It was Alexia's fourth successive Number One in the Italian charts and was her international breakout hit. This was her last single to be released by different labels in different territories as after this all her releases would be by Sony Music. This was the second and last single to feature radio jingles on the CD. After its success in Europe, the song was remixed for a UK release the following year, which also saw release in Australia.

As before (and for the final time) the German edition would be released by ZYX, the Spanish release by Blanco Y Negro, the French release by Panic (a subsidiary of Polygram and the Finnish release by K-Tel. A full set of releases were commissioned for Europe by Sony Music, once again on their Dancepool label; a Maxi CD, 2 track CD and 12" release (Sony code 664517). Two remix releases followed; one entitled 'remix' and a doublepack of remixes by Fathers Of Sound. The Fathers Of Sound remixes would contain vocals and lyrics that were not on the original version.
After officially signing to Sony for all future releases, plans were made to properly launch Alexia's career outside of Europe. In 1998, Almighty Records were commissioned to provide a remix and edit for the UK market (Sony Code 665567), in order to launch her career. The remix was also used for the Australian release later that year (Sony Code 665766). In 1999, the track was released in America under the Epidrome label.
Due to its popularity, the Almighty edit would be released on all versions of Alexia's second album The Party.
