"Secret Combination" is a song by Greek-American singer Kalomira. Described as an American production of "perky pop" and R&B, the track was composed by Poseidonas Giannopoulos with lyrics by Konstantinos Pantzis. It was released on 26 February 2008 by Heaven Music and served as the first single released from Kalomira's fourth studio album, Secret Combination: The Album. The song was the Greek entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2008, held in Belgrade, where it placed third behind Russia and Ukraine.
To promote the song, a music video was created and Kalomira performed in a promotional tour in advance of her Eurovision appearance, visiting Azerbaijan, Romania, and Serbia. The act was sponsored by J.Lo by Jennifer Lopez, which was preparing to launch the clothing line in Europe; Kalomira's attire for performances and the music video was exclusively provided by the brand. Critical response was positive, with the song being described as "infectiously catchy" by Tony Neophytou of London Greek Radio and Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet writing that it was reminiscent of Elena Paparizou, who had previously won the contest for Greece. "Secret Combination" experienced commercial success, peaking at number one in Greece and entering charts in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Ireland, and the United Kingdom.
