"We're Going to Ibiza" is a song by Dutch Eurodance group the Vengaboys. It was released in August 1999 as the sixth and final single from The Party Album. The song was one of the Vengaboys' most successful singles. The song was based on Typically Tropical's 1975 number one hit "Barbados", with modified lyrics. While "Boom Boom Boom Boom" was still on the UK chart, "We're Going to Ibiza" reached number one on the UK Singles Chart, as the previous single had also done.
