"Bop Bop" is a song recorded by Romanian singer Inna for her eponymous and fourth studio album (2015) and its Japanese counterpart, Body and the Sun (2015). Featuring the vocals of American recording artist Eric Turner, it was made available for digital consumption on 14 July 2015 through Roton and Empire Music. The recording was written by Sebastian Barac, Carl Bjorsell, Marcel Botezan, Julimar J-Son Santos, Thomas Troelsen and Eric Turner, while production was handled by Bjorsell, Troelsen, Turner and Play & Win.
