Arne Jansen, born as Aloisius Gertrudis Gerhardus Jansen (1951–2007), was a popular Dutch singer whose career flourished in the 1970s and 1980s. He is best known for his hit "Meisjes met Rode Haren" (Girls with Red Hair) which became an evergreen in the Dutch music scene. Jansen's music was characterized by its catchy melodies and sentimental lyrics that resonated with the "levenslied" tradition, a Dutch genre akin to the chanson, folk, or country, depicting the joys and sorrows of everyday life.

Throughout his career, Jansen maintained a dedicated fan base in the Netherlands and parts of Belgium, releasing a number of albums and singles that charted successfully. His works, such as "De Regenboog Serie: Arne Jansen" and "18 Mega Piraten Favorieten," showcase his ability to capture the emotional essence of the "levenslied." His posthumous compilations, including "Zijn Allergrootste Hits," were a testament to his enduring appeal and the legacy he left in the realm of Dutch music. Jansen's emotive performance style, coupled with his relatable lyrics, secured his place as a beloved figure in the genre until his untimely passing in 2007.
