"Inndia" (stylized as "INNdiA") is a song recorded by Romanian singer Inna for her third studio album, Party Never Ends (2013). It was released on 11 October 2012 through Roton, featuring Romanian trio Play & Win. The track was written by Sebastian Barac, Radu Bolfea, Marcel Botezan and Joddie Connor, while production was handled by the first three under the name of Play & Win. "Inndia" is an Arabic-influenced and oriental-like song encompassing guiar accords and male vocals to complement Inna.
The Times of India was negative towards the song, calling it a "passable track". To promote the track, an accompanying music video was shot by Edward Aninaru and was uploaded onto Inna's official YouTube channel on 19 September 2012. It shows the singer helping a stripper to escape from her agressive boss in a club. Multiple reviewers noted the visual's Lesbian theme and Inna's lascivious appearance. The singer also performed "Inndia" on various occasions. Commercially, it reached the top ten in Romania.
"Inndia" was written by Sebastian Barac, Radu Bolfea, Marcel Botezan and Joddie Connor, while production was handled by the first three under the name of Play & Win. The trio was also credited as a featuring artist on the track. The song was made available for digital download on 11 October 2012 by Roton, featuring six remixes along with the original track. An accompanying artwork was unveiled in September 2012, with Alex from Romanian website Urban.ro noting that Inna looked "sexy and exotic" on the cover.
An editor from Italian website RnB Junk wrote that "Inndia" was an "oriental-like" song, "easily to understand by the title", and pointed out that it featured a new beat not approached in the singer's previous material. Alin from Urban.ro similarly thought that the recording was of a new style compared to Inna's previous work, noting Arabic influences, guitar accords and male vocals complementing the singer. Reagan Gavin Rasquinh of The Times of India wrote, "despite the title, [the track] has nothing to do with the subcontinent, in case you were wondering." According to Urban.ro, "Inndia" refers to the name of a woman, also portrayed in the music video.
