"Bongo Bong" and "Je Ne T'Aime Plus" are two pop songs originally written and performed by Manu Chao. In 2006, the songs were combined into one track and covered by British singer Robbie Williams. The track was produced by Mark Ronson, and was released as the third single from Williams' tenth solo album, "Rudebox", in Mexico and Eastern Europe in early 2007.

Backing vocals for the song were provided by the English pop artist, Lily Allen.Lily Allen has been quoted saying that "she did not meet Robbie williams in the recording process" and states that "she wishes she wasn't on his 'crap and experimental' album rather his previous efforts".

The track does not currently have a music video, but EMI Music México nevertheless released the song to radio. Promo copies were sent in the beginning of 2007 and the single was released as Digital Download in early February.
