"Allez Ola Olé" ({{IPA|fr|ale ola ole}}, Come on! Ola! Olé!) is a song in the French language performed by French singer Jessy Matador that represented France at the Eurovision Song Contest 2010. The song was chosen internally, and was announced 24 February 2010. The song was to be used by French broadcaster France Télévisions as The Summerhit of 2010 and also for promoting the 2010 FIFA World Cup, and the title of the song refers to the album Music of the World Cup: Allez! Ola! Ole!, released in 1998 to coincide with the '98 World Cup, held in France.{{Cite web|url=http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/15198 |title=Jessy will sing Allez! Ola!
