"Adalida" is a song recorded by American country music artist George Strait. It was released in March 1995 as the third single from his album Lead On. It peaked at #3 in the United States, and #2 in Canada. It was written by Mike Geiger, Woody Mullis and Michael Huffman. The song is an uptempo, in which the narrator refers to a "Cajun queen" named Adalida. It was inspired by a young lady George Strait met in his hometown, named Ida. He was about to sing at the strawberry festival in Poteet, when he ran into her.
