"Redrum" (stylized as "redruM"; reverse of "Murder") is a song by Romanian singer and songwriter Sorana and French disc jockey David Guetta. It was released for digital download and streaming on 20 January 2022 by Atlantic Records. The song was written by Sorana and 15 others, including Jeffrey Bhasker, Mikkel Cox, Guetta, Malik Jones, Mr Hudson, Scott Mescudi, Giorgio Tuinfort, Kanye West and Ernest Wilson, while the production was handled by Toby Green, Guetta and Cox. A dance-pop track about a love triangle and a resulting heartbreak, it interpolates the refrain of West's 2008 song "Heartless".
Music critics gave positive reviews of "Redrum" upon its release, praising the catchiness, Sorana's vocal delivery and the production. Commercially, the song reached number ten in Bulgaria and the top 20 in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Russia and the Netherlands. An accompanying music video was uploaded to Guetta's YouTube channel simultaneously with the single release. Directed by Andra Marta, Alexandru Mureșan and Cristina Poszet, it portrays Sorana being chased by a clone of herself through the hallways of a hotel. Observers likened the visual and the singer's outfit to the 1980 psychological horror film The Shining and fictional superheroine Sailor Moon, respectively.
