"La Di Die" (stylized in all lowercase) is a song by American singer-songwriter Nessa Barrett featuring American singer-songwriter Jxdn. It was released on February 19, 2021, via Warner Records. The song was written by Barrett, Jxdn, Lowell, Bülow, Leo Mellace, Sam Roman and Travis Barker, and produced by Mellace, Roman and Barker.[3]

Barrett explained in a press release: "'La Di Die' touches on how fame is dramatized and something most people wish for, when in reality, it's a dark and evil place. It was cool working with jxdn, not only is he my friend but a dope artist. He really helped make this song come to life!". Then Jxdn supplemented: "For me, this song represents that sometimes the hardest situation is the one that seems perfect. Don't ever be afraid to let people know you aren't where you wanna be. Set a goal, find a dream and make those reality. Live for others while being yourself; don't live for yourself while being like others".[4]

Critical reception

Warner Music Australia described the song as "[f]using warm acoustic guitar and icy 808s, it builds towards Nessa's hypnotic promise 'La da di oh la di da, gonna be a superstar'. Jxdn pulls up with an instantly unforgettable melody as their voices seamlessly entwine."[5]

Live performance

On April 7, 2021, Barrett and Jxdn performed the song on Jimmy Kimmel Live![6] Five days later, they performed the song on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.[7]
