"Usseewa" (うっせぇわ) is a song by Japanese singer Ado, released as her debut single on October 23, 2020. It was released as a digital single through Virgin Music.

The song's lyrics criticize society's so called "common sense", with Ado speaking on behalf of members of society about their dissatisfaction and anger with society.[1][2] The song is sung in a powerful way with acrimonious words; the title and catchphrase of the song, "Usseewa", short for うるさい (urusaiwa), means "Shut up".[1][3] The song became popular among the younger generations in Japan,[4] and has even been called "2021 youth anthem".[3]
