"Europapa" (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈøːroːˌpɑpaː]) is a song by Dutch musician Joost Klein. Self-described as a "very Dutch" 1990s-style song, it was written by Klein along with six other songwriters. It was self-released on 29 February 2024 after the song and its video clip premiered on a special afternoon broadcast of De Avondshow met Arjen Lubach that same day. It was the Netherlands' entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, where it was disqualified from the final due to Klein reportedly making "unlawful threats" to a member of the contest's production crew, prompting a police investigation that eventually led to Klein's charges being dropped. The song was the first and as of 2026, only in the contest's history to be disqualified after the contest had started. The song was later included in Klein's ninth studio album, Unity (2025). The song has been described as an ode to Europe and a "letter" to his late father, who taught him that the world has "no borders". It was met with relative praise from both Dutch and international media, with support for the song's message about the advocacy of diversity along with the tribute to Klein's father being mentioned. "Europapa" was met with commercial success, peaking at number one on the singles charts of the Netherlands, Flanders, Latvia and Lithuania, in the process becoming the most streamed competing song of Eurovision 2024 on Spotify and YouTube.
