“Dillo solo al buio” is a song recorded by Italian singer-songwriter Elisa. It was released on 15 November 2024 through Island Records and Universal Music Italy.
After the release of the compilation Intimate – Recordings at Abbey Road Studios and the related solo single “Quando nevica” in December 2023, Elisa announced a recording hiatus. In October 2024, she collaborated with Andrea Bocelli on the song “Rimani Qui”, a single taken from the tenor’s compilation album Duets (30th Anniversary). On November 11, 2024, Elisa announced the release of “Dillo solo al buio”. The song was written by Elisa herself with Alessandro Raina, Davide Simonetta and producer by her husband Andrea Rigonat. The singer explained the meaning of the song on her social networks:
“The song is a dedication to my best friend, she is one of the purest souls I have been lucky enough to meet. It’s about a disappointment in love, but it’s mostly about people who have the courage to be themselves and love to the core, and how that to others can also be scary unfortunately. And then there is in it the complicity of true friendship, of standing by each other in difficult times, of understanding each other without too many words.”
