"Ready or Not" is the second single from The Fugees' 1996 album The Score. The song contains a sample of "Boadicea" by Enya, and its chorus is based on "Ready or Not (Here I Come) " by The Delfonics. The song spent two weeks atop the UK Singles Chart in September 1996. Singer Enya was prepared to sue the group for copyright infringement, because she had not permitted the group to sample the song "Boadicea", from her 1992 album The Celts. She eventually settled out of court.

U.S. President Barack Obama named "Ready or Not" as his favorite song in a top 10 list submitted to Blender in August 2008.
  • Ready or Not è un brano musicale dei Fugees, estratto come terzo singolo dal secondo album del gruppo The Score, pubblicato nel 1996. La canzone contiene un campionamento di "Boadicea" di Enya, mentre il ritornello è basato su "Ready Or Not, Here I Come (Can't Hide From Love)" dei Delfonics. Enya si dichiarò pronta a citare il gruppo per infrangimento delle regole sui diritti d'autore, dato che non era stato dato il consenso all'utilizzo del suo brano, tuttavia nessuna azione legale è di fatto mai stata intentata. La canzone ha raggiunto la posizione numero uno nel Regno Unito per due settimane nel settembre 1996.
