"Josefin" (ⓘ) is a song performed by Swedish singer and songwriter Albin Lee Meldau, who wrote it with the song's producer Peter Kvint. It was released on 23 April 2021 as the lead single from Meldau's EP, Epistlar (2021), through Mayfly and Sony. Two years after its release, it saw a resurgence in popularity thanks to a sped-up version on TikTok, and "Josefin" peaked at number eight on the Swedish singles chart. It has become Meldau's most successful song and has been certified sextuple platinum by IFPI Sverige.
The song also became a hit in Norway in 2023, where three different versions of the song all charted in the top ten of the singles chart: a Norwegian-language version by Delara, a version by influencer Oskar Westerlin created with AI and Meldau's original. In 2024, "Josephine", an English-language translation featuring American singer-songwriter Lissie, was released as a single from Meldau's second English-language studio album, Discomforts.
