"U.G.L.Y." is a song by American recording duo Daphne & Celeste. It was released on June 5, 2000, as the second single from their studio album, We Didn't Say That!. The song was written and composed by Michele Chiavarini, Tracy Kilrow, Michael Marz and S. Burkes, while its producer was Chiavarini. "U.G.L.Y." is a teen pop and bubblegum pop song with a cheerleading style, making it similar in this respect to Toni Basil's song "Mickey". Lyrically, the song consists of insults towards people Daphne & Celeste think are ugly.
Commercially, the song performed well in New Zealand, where it peaked at number seven (its highest position on a chart anywhere in the world). It also reached the top 20 in the UK and the top 40 in Australia and Ireland. The song would later be used in the American box office hit film Bring It On (released August 2000) and its accompanying soundtrack.
