"2 Times" is a song co-written and recorded by British singer Ann Lee. It was released in April 1999 as the lead single from her debut album, Dreams. The single reached number 1 on the charts in Belgium and Denmark.

Ann Lee's previous work on a large number of eurodance projects would help her receive a contract with Alfredo Larry Pignagnoli, with whom she had already worked with on the Whigfield project, amongst others. He worked on a track with Marco Soncini called "Two Times". The song is played in a F Major key in common time at a BPM of 132, and throughout follows chord progression F-C7.

The song achieved success in many European countries where it was a top ten hit, particularly in Belgium (Flanders region) and Denmark, where it reached number one. It peaked at number 2 in Ireland, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. It was also a top ten hit in Australia after initially receiving frequent airplay on Melbourne radio station KIX FM. It has sold over 500,000 copies in the UK as of 2014.

The song's colourful music video was released in 1999 by Energy Productions. Ann Lee has noted that the structure and cinematography of the video was very similar to that of Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer; "The two videos were similar! I remember perfectly the 'sledge video' (love Peter Gabriel!) and my movements are in fact very similar - but I think the similarity ends there".
