"We Wanna" is a song recorded by Romanian dance-pop singers Alexandra Stan and INNA , featuring Puerto Rican artist Daddy Yankee. It was released on 8 June, 2015 as the lead single of Alexandra Stan's third studio album, Alesta. Due to the song's popularity, it was also added to the track list of some editions of Unlocked (2014), INNA (2015) and Nirvana (2018). We Wanna is a dance-pop party song with strong 90s electro music influence and the use of Stan's signature saxophone sound. The track was a joint effort to relaunch Stan's music career, after low album sales of her second studio album.

Following Stan's second album, fans began to speculate that Alexandra Stan and INNA, two of Romania's top performers, would collaborate soon. In 2014, INNA teased a snippet of the song that only featured INNA's vocals. It was later revealed that the song would be the lead single from Stan's upcoming third studio album, when asked about the collaboration, Alexandra Stan said, "I think we are like a delicious vanilla-chocolate milkshake, which you simply cannot get enough from."

The song was written by Ramon Ayala, Jacob Luttrell, Andreas Schuller and Thomas Troelsen, while being produced by Schuller and Troelsen. Production of the track features heavy use of a saxophone, similar to many of Stan's past singles. Lyrically, it describes having fun in the summer, dancing, and partying. The singers both sing the choruses, while Stan sings the first verse and INNA sings the second verse. Daddy Yankee joins them on a rap bridge in english and in spanish.

On charts, the song peaked at #59 on the Romanian Airplay chart. Outside of the singer's home country, the single reached #2 in Germany and #5 in Argentina. It reached the top 40 of numerous countries including, Poland, Slovakia, and Turkey. The single is certified gold in Italy for selling over 25,000 units.
