"Balada" (full title "Balada (Tchê Tcherere Tchê Tchê)", also known as "Balada Boa") is a song by Brazilian artist Gusttavo Lima from his album Gusttavo Lima e você (2011). Written by Gusttavo Lima and Cássio Sampaio, it was released on 21 January 2011, in Brazil through label Som Livre. The song became a success in Brazil: it reached the 3rd position on the Brazilian Billboard Hot 100.

International fame came when the popular song was released worldwide on 13 April 2012, through label Universal. The song became a success in most of Europe, just as Michel Teló's 2011 song "Ai Se Eu Te Pego", becoming a number-one hit in Belgium (Flanders), France, Honduras, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands (13 weeks at number one in the Dutch Top 40, a new record).
