Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni's previous song, Mpe Enkoni.
The pop-folk song is titled "Yengoma", loosely meaning "the drum", a traditional symbol of power in Uganda, which Museveni has led since 1986.
The 70-year-old president already enjoyed modest musical success in the run-up to the last election in 2011, with the rap song "Mpenkoni", loosely meaning "give me a walking stick".
Museveni's latest song, Yengoma.
While some Ugandans have already downloaded his latest tune as mobile phone ring tones, others were critical.
The Monitor was scathing of the song, describing it as "more of a rendition of a nursery rhyme than an original composition."
But it also said that "the fact Yengoma is sung by a sitting president, during an electoral season, will turn it into an overnight hit."
The presidential election is expected in February or March 2016.
Museveni has already been given the green light to represent the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) by the party's top body, but ex-prime minister and party veteran Amama Mbabazi, 66, wants to challenge him.
Kizza Besigye, a leader of the opposition Forum for Democratic Change party and former personal doctor to Museveni who has made three unsuccessful bids for president, is also planning to run again.
Both Mbabazi and Besigye were arrested briefly earlier this month for planning campaign rallies without official permission.
