"Kai Se Thelo" (stylized as "+ Se Thelo") is a single by popular Greek singer Sakis Rouvas from the album Irthes, released as a radio single on June 17, 2008 in Greece and Cyprus.

Dimitris Kontopoulos was the composer of the song along with lyricist Vicky Gerothodorou. The duo had previously produced Rouvas' massive 2007 hit "Ola Gyro Sou Gyrizoun" as well as "Stous 31 Dromous". Rouvas' last album release was in late 2006, and with the exception of "Stous 31 Dromous", the theme of the show of the same name, and the recordings for the Alter Ego he had not produced any new album material since the release of Iparhi Agapi Edo. This was due to Rouvas' work on both his début film and the filming of a new English-language psychological thriller that was being filmed on Los Angeles, so for the majority of the past two years, Rouvas had been living outside Greece and was unable to record.

With filming nearly completed, as well as taking a break from international projects, Rouvas returned to Greece in Spring of 2008. It was then when he started doing performances in Thessaloniki with Peggy Zina. He premiered his new song at the Video Music Awards 2008 where he also won the award for Best Male Artist on June 17, 2008. Kontopoulos and Rouvas decided to release the song as a digital download in order to test the market.

The song features a very strong and persistent beat throughout the song. It plays on combining both syllabic dance rhythms with a melismatic style. The song also includes a vocal expression which Rouvas is known for, which is the dramatic change in dynamics, with the verses being sung in a sultry manner, while the chorus is sung full volume, allowing Rouvas to use a large vocal range. Lyrically, the song finds Rouvas telling his lover that he wants her and is in need of her. The lyrics are likely sexualized as is its interpretation.
