Background[edit]

The song deals with the theme of rebirth, telling the story of a woman who finds the strength to renew herself after the conclusion of a love story despite the nostalgic emotions of her memory. Regarding the image of the wisteria, the artist stated: "It has fragile flowers that seem to break in a breath, but branches so strong that over time they even bend iron. Wisteria has a lot to teach you about how nice it would be to be in the world. Blossoming of a delicate antique, cheeky pink, however, in the deep blue of the night, despite long and tenacious roots that give us life but often also entangle it".[5]

Music video[edit]

The music video for the song was released on YouTube on 3 March 2021, to accompany the single's release. It was directed by Attilio Cusani.[6]
