Background
About the song
Released on 15 May 2026, «Sorry Scusa Lo Siento» is a summer single built on an unhappy joke: the title apologises in three languages — English, Italian and Spanish — to someone whose language the singer does not actually speak. Riccardo Zanotti wrote it and produced it with Etta Matters and Paga. The verses tell a small gothic love story: she did not know where to dance, he worked as a ghost in abandoned villas and borrowed them to throw the saddest parties imaginable. They rent a cinema, a funfair and eventually a cemetery, always for two people alone. The video, directed by Lorenzo Silvestri, features the actress Fotinì Peluso.
Did you know?
The lyric is a catalogue of horror references: Silent Hill, Poltergeist, a Ouija board, tarot cards, the Kabbalah, and a couple who supposedly escaped into the pages of an Edgar Allan Poe story. Dropped in among them is Dua Lipa, rhymed as simply «Dua» — the only living person on the list.
