"Ya Soshla S Uma" (Cyrillic: "Я сошла с ума" [ja sɐʂˈla sʊˈma]; translation: "I Have Lost My Mind") is the debut song recorded by Russian girl group t.A.T.u., known under their Russian name for their debut studio and Russian language album, 200 Po Vstrechnoy (2001). The song was written by Sergio Galoyan, Elena Kiper and Valeriy Polienko and produced by Ivan Shapovalov. It was made available for purchase on December 19, 2000 as the lead single from the album. Musically, "Ya Soshla S Uma" is an electronic song. Although its original story was based on a dream Kiper had at a dentist appointment, Shapovalov evoked the theme of lesbianism in both this and the English-language version, "All The Things She Said". Lyrically, it delves on two girls experiencing sexual relationships with each other.
Upon its release, "Ya Soshla S Uma" garnered generally favorable reviews from music critics. Many reviewers highlighted it as one of the album's best tracks and complimented the production, although most of them focused on the group's and the song's lesbian vibe. Commercially, the song experienced success in Russia, peaking at number one for eighteen consecutive weeks and selling 200,000 units in that region. Additionally, "Ya Soshla S Uma" impacted mainstream radio stations in Russia, Ukraine, Poland and Czech Republic.
An accompanying music video was shot at Khodynka Field, Moscow by Shapovalov, and portrayed t.A.T.u. wearing school girl outfits and kissing each other behind an iron-wired fence. Whilst the kissing scene from "Ya Soshla S Uma" was heavily controversial in Russian media, the English adaption "All The Things She Said" popularised the group worldwide and further caused controversy. In order to promote the single, the band performed it on their 2001–02 200 Po Vstrechnoy concert tour, and it was included on their compilation albums t.A.T.u. Remixes (2003) and The Best (2006).
