"Barefoot in the Park" is a song by English electronic music producer and singer-songwriter James Blake featuring Spanish singer and songwriter Rosalía. It was written by Blake, Rosalía and Paco Ortega and produced by Blake, Dominic Maker and Dan Foat. The single was released on 4 April 2019, by Polydor Records, as the fourth single from Blake's fourth studio album Assume Form (2019).[1] It is a Latin-infused ballad which blends Blake's electronic and UK bass style, trap drums and Rosalía's traditional flamenco influences. Inspired by the 1967 film Barefoot in the Park, its romantic lyrics celebrate togetherness.

The song was met with positive reviews, with many commending Rosalía's vocal performance. Commercially, it managed the reach number 40 in Rosalía's native Spain and peaked at number 27 on the US Hot Dance/Electronic Songs. A music video for the single was shared on the single's release date. Both singers have performed the song live on a number of occasions, both solo or in duet.
