"Gimme Gimme" is a song recorded by Romanian singer Inna. It was made available for digital consumption on 1 February 2017 through Roton and Global Records. The recording was written and produced by Inna, Sebastian Alexandru Barac, Marcel Botezan, David Ciente, Breyan Isaac and Elena Luminița Vasile. A pop song with Bollywood, Indian and Gyspy influences, "Gimme Gimme" features "simple but meaningful" romantic lyrics.
An accompanying music video for "Gimme Gimme" was shot by Edward Aninaru in October 2016 in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and was uploaded onto Inna's YouTube channel simultaneously with the single's release. During the filming sessions, the singer was accompanied by a Romanian and South American team, and both John Perez and Khaled Mokhtar served as directors of photography. The clip portrays Inna exploring the city and ends with her appearance at a party at night. Music critics were positive towards the recording, calling it summery and noting its club-oriented style. Commercially, it reached the top 20 in Romania, Turkey and the French, Polish and British club charts.
The song was written and produced by Inna, Sebastian Alexandru Barac, Marcel Botezan, David Ciente, Breyan Isaac and Elena Luminița Vasile. Music portal YaBB Music described "Gimme Gimme" as Bollywood-inspired, while Jonathan Currinn from Celebmix implied that it is "upbeat and catchy" and "suggests a summer sound for her fifth album". He further wrote that the track "has simple but meaningful lyrics that are romantic while still having her infectious club sound." Raluca Tanasă from InfoMusic saw "Gimme Gimme" as featuring both Indian and Gyspy music influences, and described it as summery. The singer herself confessed that the recording is "energetic, and has a fresh sound perfect for parties"; echoing the same thought, Urban.ro labelled "Gimme Gimme" as "good for club nights". Spanish website Trendecias opined that the recording "is going to become one of those songs that the radios won't stop playing" and invited its readers to "turn up the volume and enjoy it". In June 2017, it was reported that American blogger Perez Hilton praised the track in a post on his blog as being "next level", saying it had major potential to become a hit in the United States.
