"Vent'anni" (lit. 'Twenty years') is a power ballad and seventh single by Italian group Måneskin. It was released on 30 October 2020 by Sony Music and was included in their second album Teatro d'ira: Vol. I.[1][2] It received the double platinum certification by FIMI.

Description

The band wrote the song during their stay in London in spring of 2020, during the COVID-19 lockdowns. The lyrics were written by the band's frontman Damiano David. It is dedicated to their generation, with his mature alter ego giving advices that David "would have liked to hear from someone older now that I am twenty years old". They tackle the anxieties and frustrations of feeling like a nobody, making mistakes, the uncertainty of the future, to not think in black-and-white because "you will be someone if you remain different from others".[3][4] From a musical point of view it is a melodic power ballad.[1][3]

Music video

The music video for "Vent'anni", directed by Giulio Rosati, premiered on 6 November 2020 via Måneskin's YouTube channel.[3][5]
