"Boombayah" (Korean붐바야; RRBumbaya) is a song by South Korean girl group Blackpink. It was released through YG Entertainment on August 8, 2016, simultaneously with "Whistle"; both tracks are on the group's debut single album titled Square One (2016).

"Boombayah" peaked at number seven on the Gaon Digital Chart and topped the Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart, making Blackpink the fastest act to top the chart in history. It has since been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) for both its Korean and Japanese versions. The song's accompanying music video was directed by Seo Hyun-seung and was released alongside the single itself on Blackpink's YouTube channel. On October 13, 2020, it became the first K-pop debut music video to surpass 1 billion views on YouTube.
