"Écoute" (French: "Listen") is a song by Romanian recording artist Alexandra Stan for her second studio album, Alesta (2015). Featuring the vocal collaboration of Romanian band Havana, it was released on 9 March 2016 through Victor Entertainment together with its parent album. The lyrics of the recording were written in both English and French by Nadir Tamuz, Alexandra Ţîrţîrău, Sorin Seniuc and Vanotek, with the track being produced by Luigi Enciu. "Ecoute" is a dance song, which incorporates tropical beats and oriental sounds in its instrumentation. According to Stan, the songwriting is based on the theme of limitless and unconditional love.

An accompanying music video for the single was uploaded onto Stan's YouTube channel on 31 May 2016, having surpassed the 10 million views limit the singer set to release a home video for her subsequent single, "Boom Pow" (2016). The visual—portraying Stan performing in front of a snowy landscape—was filmed in March 2016 by Khaled Mokhtar on the top of mountain square Transalpina at –15 °C, near locality Obârșia-Brezoi. Music critics were positive towards the track, comparing Stan's vocals to those of Inna and Fly Project on "Bad Boys" (2015) and "Jolie" (2016), respectively, but also praising it for being bilingual. "Écoute" charted within the top twenty in Romania, Bulgaria and Poland.

"Écoute" was written by Nadir Tamuz, Alexandra Ţîrţîrău, Sorin Seniuc and Vanotek while being solely produced by Luigi Enciu. Lasting three minutes and sixteen seconds, it is a dance song which musically incorporates tropical beats, oriental elements and violins in its instrumentation. The recording commences with a calm rhythm, and develops in crescendo until the chorus is played. "Écoute" features lyrics written in both English and French, which—according to Stan—delve on "pure love, without barriers, which does not limit you". While Havana provides guest vocals for the track's second verse, Stan's "sexy" vocals in the song were compared by French website Aficia's Valentin Malfroy to those of Romanian singer Inna's on "Bad Boys" (2015) and Romanian band Fly Project's on "Jolie" (2016), with the publication further labeling its lyrics "effective without being complicated". Jonathan Currinn, writing in Outlet Magazine, felt that their vocals "harmonize perfectly giving so much fire that the icy backdrop [from the music video] melts away."
