"Apnea" is a song recorded by Italian singer Emma. It was released on 7 February 2024 through Universal Music Italy, as the fourth single from her seventh studio album Souvenir. [1]
The song competed in the 74th Sanremo Music Festival, Italy's musical festival which doubles also as a selection of the act for Eurovision Song Contest, where it placed 14th in the grand final. [2] [3] [4] The song peaked at numer nine on the FIMI Single Chart, becoming Marrone's 12th top-ten on the chart.
Composition
The song was written by the singer herself with Paolo Antonacci, Davide Petrella, and Julien Boverod. [5] [6] Emma said that the song was conceived as "the end result of Souvenir" and an introduction to a new artistic direction. [7] In an interview with Radio Italia, she explained the meaning of the song: [8]
"It's a song about those butterflies in your stomach that make you lose your breath a little bit. It's about falling in love. Basically the solution is only one in life: dance your way through. To me, personally, Apnea has always given me this feeling of healthy lightness. [...] "Apea" is the summary of Souvenir, an album that opened me up to new vocal colors. Then, the months of club touring made me more familiar with these experiments."
"Apnea" also marked the singer's fourth participation in the Sanremo Music Festival after her winningsong " Non è l'inferno" (2012), " Arriverà" with Modà (2011) and " Ogni volta è così" (2022). [9]
