"La Fama" is a song recorded by Spanish singer Rosalía, featuring Canadian singer the Weeknd. It was released on 11 November 2021 by Columbia Records as the lead single from her third studio album Motomami (2022).^[2] The song was written and produced by both performers alongside El Guincho, Frank Dukes, Noah Goldstein, Sir Dylan, Sky Rompiendo and Tainy.

"La Fama" is a mid-tempo non-guitar driven bachata track with electropop and experimental elements. Its lyrics see Rosalía describing the seductions of fame as well as its superficiality and emptiness. The song was met with generally positive reviews from music critics, who embraced its challenging way to produce bachata without its characteristic acoustic guitar. It received a nomination for Record of the Year at the 23rd Annual Latin Grammy Awards.^[3] The song's music video, directed by Director X and inspired by Robert Rodríguez' From Dusk till Dawn, accompanied the song's release, and depicts Rosalía as a bloodstone vedette.

Commercially, "La Fama" debuted atop the PROMUSICAE chart in Spain, becoming Rosalía's seventh number-one single in her home country and the Weeknd's first. Elsewhere, the song entered the top ten charts in Belgium, France, Mexico, Bulgaria, Panama, El Salvador and the US Hot Latin Songs. It also entered the Billboard Hot 100 and the Global 200, peaking at 94 and 34 respectively.
