"Born in Africa" is a song recorded by Sweden-based musician and producer Dr. Alban, released in 1996 by Dr. Records and Tempo Records as the second single from Alban's fourth studio album, Born in Africa (1996). The song was written by Alban with Ari Lehtonen and Jorge Vasconcelo. It peaked at number-one in Finland, number seven in Hungary and number eleven in Sweden, as well as topping the Swedish dance chart, with a total of 11 weeks inside that chart. On the Eurochart Hot 100, "Born in Africa" reached number 91 in April 1996.

Critical reception

Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "It's not often that remixes make a difference, but in this you get two radio hits for the price of one. The original radio version has an up-tempo reggae rhythm and a poppy chorus, while Pierre J's Radio Remix is fast, hard techno with exotic background vocals and dubs."
