"Oh" is a song written by American singer Ciara and rapper Ludacris, and produced by Andre Harris and Vidal Davis for Ciara's debut album Goodies (2004). It features Ludacris and was released as the album's third single in March 2005 (see 2005 in music) in the United States. Ciara says it is a love song to her hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. She said in an interview that it took her a week to write the song because she wanted to get the lyrics right.

The song debuted on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 the week of April 9, 2005 and quickly climbed the chart, eventually peaked at number two for two weeks in May 2005. "Oh" was a hit outside the U.S. and reached the top ten in most European countries, Australia and New Zealand. The single's video begins with Ciara sitting with "little" Ciara watching a video player. The camera zooms into the video player and reveals an overview of Atlanta and scenes of Ciara at a block party in an alley. There are dance sequences with Ciara performing on top of a car as Ludacris raps. Ciara is also "ridin' slow" in a classic model car, probably an Oldsmobile 442 or Cutlass Supreme. "Oh" is Ciara's third top ten single.

"Oh" was nominated in the "Best R&B Video" category at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards (won by Alicia Keys' "Karma"), and it won "Best Collaboration" at the 2005 Vibe Awards.
