"Que Sera" is a song recorded by Australian dance-pop group Justice Crew. It was released digitally on 2 May 2014 and physically in Australia on 16 May 2014, as the fourth single from their debut studio album Live by the Words. It was brought forward a week from its original release date of 9 May 2014 due to a high-profile TV sync on the My Kitchen Rules final and a live performance of the track on Sunrise on 5 May 2014. The song was also played during the 2015 Cricket World Cup when Kane Williamson got out in the semi-final of New Zealand vs South Africa.

The song was announced as Justice Crew's new single whilst on their national #HypeTour and was available for pre-order from 17 April 2014 along with a 30-second sample through YouTube. Exploring themes such as friendship, harmony, reflection and an appreciation of life, with the clear connection to the well known saying "what will be, will be", the song enables listeners to draw parallels with their own life experiences as well as further understand Justice Crew’s journey thus far.

For the week commencing 12 May 2014, "Que Sera" debuted at number one on the ARIA Singles Chart. It remained atop the chart for nine consecutive weeks, making it the longest-running Australian number one single since the ARIA Charts began. The song was certified fives times platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association for selling over 350,000 copies.

"Que Sera" received two nominations at the 2014 ARIA Music Awards for Song of the Year and Best Pop Release.

The first music video for "Que Sera" was directed by Lawrence Lim and premiered on Justice Crew's Vevo account on 12 May 2014. The video features the group singing and dancing in front of different coloured backdrops. It received a nomination at the 2014 ARIA Music Awards for Best Video. A second music video for the US market was filmed in Los Angeles and premiered on 28 July 2014. Christine Sams of The Daily Telegraph noted that the video "starts with a helicopter and sweeping views of what appears to be Los Angeles, before the band members show off their smooth makeovers in sharp black suits and sunglasses — and then in matching cream, pastel blues and whites." Sams felt that the video was reminiscent of Backstreet Boys, Boyz II Men and New Kids on the Block.
