“Tu es foutu” (English: “You’re screwed/fucked”) is a song by Italian dance singer-songwriter In-Grid. It was released in mid 2002 as the lead single from her debut album, Rendez-vous.

“Tu es foutu” describes the end of a relationship.

The lyrics were written by In-Grid and Marco Soncini, who co-produced the song with Alfredo Larry Pignagnoli. The English version was also co-written by Daniela Galli (also known as Dhany) and Paul Sears.
