"Wonderland" is a song by Korean-American singer AleXa. It was released on March 21, 2022, by Atlantic Records[1] and was written by Andreas Carlsson, Bekuh Boom, Ellen Berg, and Cazzi Opeia, as well as Albin Nordqvist who produced the song.[2] The single became available to pre-save on March 19, 2022.[3]

The single represented the state Oklahoma in the first and only competition of American Song Contest (the series was cancelled after one season), where it won first place. After the complete line-up of songs was announced, "Wonderland" was the bookmakers' favorite to win the competition because of the anticipation of a K-pop artist participating in an American contest, and remained so until the end of the contest.[4] As part of AleXa's reward for winning, she was slated to perform at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards on May 15, 2022, becoming the second K-pop artist to do so, after BTS. AleXa, however, only presented at the award ceremony. iHeartRadio also pledged to play her winning song all summer.[5]
