"Dragostea din tei"^[A] (pronounced[ˈdraɡoste̯adinˈtej]^ⓘ; Romanian: "Love From the Linden Tree"^[15]) is a song recorded by Moldovan group O-Zone, released around July 2003 in Romania by Media Services as the lead single from their third studio album DiscO-Zone (2003).

"Dragostea din tei", a 1980s-inspired dance-pop, synth-pop, Eurodisco and Europop song, is performed in Romanian, with its lyrics about having sexual intercourse under trees according to Balan.
