"Calabria" is a song by Danish DJ/producer Rune Reilly Kölsch. It was originally released in 2003 by Credence, a sublabel of Parlophone Records.

The song has been remixed or released in numerous other versions by different artists, the most successful being "Calabria 2007" by Enur with vocals by Natasja Saad. Others include records by Drunkenmunky, Dirty Laundry and Kaner in 2004, by Alex Gaudino featuring vocals from Crystal Waters on "Destination Calabria" in 2006, by Criminal Vibes in 2013 and by Firebeatz and Jaques Le Noir in 2014. In 2007, Pitbull and Lil Jon sampled "Calabria 2007" in "The Anthem".

In 2014, British musician Guppy Slim played a set dedicated to "Calabria" at Casa Del Vibe in Bristol. It was recorded and played on BBC Radio 6 Music at various times following its performance.

In June 2022, two songs that sample "Calabria" were climbing the UK top 30 at the same time. The higher charting track of the two, as of 17 June 2022, was "21 Reasons" by DJ Nathan Dawe and singer Ella Henderson at number 9, while eight places below was West London drill rapper Benzz with "Je M'appelle". Both songs sample the riff from "Calabria", while "Je M'appelle" also samples vocals from "Calabria 2007".

In May 2023, songstress POLI, using a sample from this song, released the single "ПУШКА ГОНКА" which blew up all the charts in Russia.

In 2007, a remix with additional dancehall beats and vocals by Danish reggae singer Natasja Saad was released, titled "Calabria 2007", by Rune and Johannes Torpe under the name Enur. This reggae fusion version has been very successful around the world and gained popularity in the United States in mid-to-late 2007. It received heavy club play, eventually entering the playlist of major Top-40/Dance radio stations such as Z100 and KTU. It placed at #80 on Z100's top 100 songs of 2007. This version was featured in a Target advertisement for the 2007–2008 school year, featuring college dorm supplies, and due to the song's prominence in the ad, the song received much exposure.

In 2008, the song hit the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 at number 46, making it one of the highest peaking reggae fusion songs in 2008. There is also another remix featuring Mims and a Dominican rap remix featuring Dominican artist Punto Rojo. On 16 January 2008 the song reached number one on Billboards Hot Dance Airplay chart.

Calabria 2007 is one of the last songs recorded by Natasja to be released before her untimely passing after a car accident in Kingston, Jamaica in June 2007. A reworked version of the song titled "Calabria 2008" would be released posthumously on her 2008 English language album "Shooting Star".

On June 18, 2024 it was announced that the song would be featured on the upcoming Just Dance 2025 Edition, released on October 15, 2024.
