"Lalisa" is the debut solo single by Thai rapper and singer Lisa from her debut single album of the same name (2021). It was released through YG Entertainment and Interscope Records on September 10, 2021, as the lead single from the album. Written and produced by long-time collaborator Teddy, along with Bekuh Boom and 24, "Lalisa" was described as a hip hop track containing influences from Thai culture.

Commercially, "Lalisa" peaked at number two on the Billboard Global 200, becoming Lisa's first top-ten hit on the chart. In the United States, it topped Billboard World Digital Songs and entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number 84. The song reached number one in Malaysia and the top ten in Hungary, India, and Singapore, and figured within the record charts of 18 countries. Upon its release, "Lalisa" received criticism for its lyrics and composition; however, Lisa herself was praised for her charisma and quality of performance.

An accompanying music video was directed by Seo Hyun-seung and simultaneously uploaded to Blackpink's YouTube channel with the single's release. The video received 73.6 million views within 24 hours, breaking the record for the most-viewed music video in a single day from a soloist on the platform, and earned two Guinness World Records for the feat. To promote "Lalisa", the singer performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon as well as the South Korean music programs Inkigayo and Show! Music Core. The song won Best K-Pop at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards, making Lisa the first K-pop soloist ever to win an MTV Video Music Award.
