"Laika Party" is a song by Norwegian singer and songwriter Emmy. It was written by Emmy alongside four other songwriters and produced by Henrik Østlund and Jonas Jensen. The song was released on 20 January 2025 through ADA Nordic. "Laika Party" represented Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, where it failed to qualify to the grand final after placing 13th in the second semi-final with 28 points.
The song is described by Emmy as a story that creates an alternate reality for Soviet dog Laika, where she survived in space instead of dying on the Sputnik 2 spacecraft. It received mixed critical reception from both Irish and international media, receiving some praise for its musical composition but also receiving criticism for a lack of uniqueness compared to other Eurovision songs.
