"Ddu-Du Ddu-Du" (Korean: 뚜두뚜두; RR: Ttuduttudu) is a song recorded by South Korean girl group Blackpink. It was released on June 15, 2018, through YG Entertainment, as the lead single for the group's first Korean extended play, Square Up. It was written by YG collaborator Teddy Park, whilst production and composition were handled by Teddy, 24, Bekuh Boom and R. Tee. The Japanese version of the single was released through YGEX on August 22, 2018, and was distributed in three physical formats. A EDM trap and pop rap song infused with bubblegum pop sounds, "Ddu-Du Ddu-Du" utilizes oriental percussion rhythms and whistling while its title imitates the sound of a gunshot. Its lyrics contain messages of strength and self-assurance.

"Ddu-Du Ddu-Du" was a commercial success in South Korea, where it peaked at number one on the Gaon Digital Chart for three weeks, marking Blackpink's second number-one single in the country. The song reached number one in Singapore, Malaysia, as well as on the Billboard K-pop Hot 100 and World Digital Songs charts. It peaked at number 55 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and became the first song by a K-pop girl group to enter the UK Singles Chart. It was certified double platinum for streaming and platinum for digital sales in South Korea, platinum in Japan, gold in the United States, and silver in the United Kingdom. It was named the Song of the Year through a public survey conducted by Gallup Korea in 2018, and appeared on Melon and Rolling Stone's lists of the best Korean pop songs of all time.

Its accompanying music video was uploaded to the group's official YouTube channel on the same day and soon became the most viewed online video in the first 24 hours by a Korean act, and the second most watched music video of all time within 24 hours. It has since become the first music video by a K-pop group to reach one billion as well as two billion views, and remains the most-viewed music video by a K-pop group on YouTube to date. It also became one of the most-liked videos on YouTube with over 23 million likes on the platform. Blackpink promoted "Ddu-Du Ddu-Du" with appearances on the music programs Show! Music Core and Inkigayo in South Korea, with the song's "finger gun" choreography becoming a viral dance move.
