Paula Monica Mitrache (born 14 June 1971), known by the stage name Haiducii (Romanian pronunciation: [hajˈdutʃij]), is a Romanian singer and model. Her first single, "Dragostea din tei", was released in 2004, which is a cover of O-Zone's homonymous single of the previous year; commercially, it reached widespread success, reaching no. 1 in Austria, Italy, Portugal and Sweden, as well as the top ten in eight other countries, and it was also certified Gold and Platinum in several other territories.

In late 2004, Haiducii released another song, "Mne s Toboy Horosho", cover of the homonymous 2003 single of the Russian band Ruki Vverh, and in late 2005 another one, "More 'N' More (I Love You)": these two songs managed to hit the chart, reaching no. 5 and 8 in Italy, respectively. The singer's debut album, Paula Mitrache in Haiducii, followed in 2008 and included these first songs that evolved into hits.
