"La Bikina" is a Mexican song written by Ruben Fuentes in 1964. The title word "bikina" has no meaning in Spanish. One account of the origin of the song's unusual title claims that Fuentes' son once commented that women wearing bikinis should be called "bikinas." Another account, retold by Fuentes, claims that an original instrumental version of the song was passed on to Juan Garcia Esquivel who titled it "The Beginning." Before its publication, this English language title was corrupted into "La Bikina."

The song has been recorded by many artists, including: Lucha Villa, Maria de Lourdes, La Gran Orquesta de Paul Mauriat, Aberto Vazquez, Luis Miguel, Celia Cruz, Juan Torres, Chayito Valdez, Gaulberto Ibarreto, Yanni, Ray Conniff, Julio Iglesias (in French under the title "L’existence se danse"), Karol Sevilla (for the movie Coco), and many others. It was also the theme song of the animated Cantiflas Show throughout the 1970's and 1980's.
