"La-La-La" (alternatively known as "La-La-La (Excuse Me Miss Again)") is a song by the American hip hop recording artist Jay-Z.[2][3] It was the second single released from the Bad Boys II soundtrack and also appears on Blueprint 2.1.[4] The song is a sequel to Jay-Z's "Excuse Me Miss".[5]

Reception

Vulture ranked all Jay-Z songs, giving this track #67 and commenting, "Rather than a remix, this is a complete reimagining of the genteel “Excuse Me Miss.” The Neptunes cook up some humming synths and soft bongos for Jay to stroke his own ego in rhyme."[6]

Alphonse Pierre of Pitchfork wrote, "There were just good vibes around “La-La-La.” Back in the day it was like a celebration every time we finished a song: The engineer would play it back, and it was like a party before the party. I made the synth sound on this song by messing around with the sound design in some programs. There were two synth sounds, they call it a Hoover synth, and it has two layers to it, and one is de-tuned, so the song has this harsh, distorted feel. It’s a track that gets the crowd hyped. That’s a good motive to have for a song."[7]
