"Ooh La" was the sixth single the Kooks pulled from Inside In/Inside Out, their debut album, landing in October 2006, a sign of how many tunes the British indie rockers had packed into that record. Luke Pritchard wrote the words and shares the music credit with Hugh Harris, Paul Garred and Max Rafferty, and Tony Hoffer produced and engineered it, with Michael Brauer mixing. The song is allegedly dedicated to the late model Audrey Lindvall.

It found plenty of screen time: the Torchwood episode "Small Worlds", a snippet in the Criminal Minds episode "True Night", an episode of American Idol and the 20th series of Never Mind the Buzzcocks. iTunes made it a Single of the Week, too.
