In her latest post, Annalisa shares a letter addressed to her fans, speaking of the "end of a journey" and "new scenarios." Words that many fans have interpreted as a possible return to her early songs, alongside an abandonment of the electropop phase that brought her hits like "Bellissima", "Mon Amour" and "Sinceramente", but also plenty of criticism over an alleged commercial turn. Some have even speculated about a dramatic exit from the scene or a pause in her career.

"I thought long and hard about the right way to close this era, even though, by its very nature, 'But I am fire' keeps burning in my thoughts with the same insistence as that voice that never stops whispering in my ear about new horizons and new stories," Annalisa writes on Instagram. "And thinking about it, maybe it's precisely because of that insistent voice that we'll find ourselves on June 12 of next year, reliving this era together with all the others in a single concert, in an almost mystical place that has long been a symbol: San Siro. But despite this solid milestone approaching so quickly, the truth is that I am certain journeys I would never want to return from, and this is one of them: I can still see the months spent in the studio, those days that wore you out because of how deeply they dug into you, and then the shape the songs took, almost always unexpected, and finally the shows, so many of them, and certain precise moments, all those vibrations, all those people who together with me became a single creature capable of turning every shadow into energy. You. So, I thought the ending should be celebrated together, just like the beginning and everything that happened in between. Never forgetting that the end of one journey always opens onto new horizons, know that I'm coming. And it's beautiful. Your friend, A.," the Ligurian popstar concludes.
And while speculation raged on social media over the possible new directions Annalisa might take, a first piece of news has already arrived: a single made together with Madame and titled "Amica", out on Friday. To announce it, just a laconic post: "Avrei solo bisogno di un'amica" ("I'd just need a friend"), accompanied by a photo of the two singers together. The track was born as an imaginary dialogue, direct and cutting, with a friend capable of becoming a point of reference in the midst of a moment of deep disorientation. In the duet, that exchange takes concrete shape through Madame, fresh off the release of her third album "Disincanto", certified gold, who brings the song her own distinctive touch as a songwriter. "Amica" thus becomes a kind of reclaiming of the right to vulnerability: the chance to show oneself fragile, angry, melancholic, imperfect and even wrong in front of someone with whom there's no need to be defensive or to pretend, accepting the same freedom in return.

The collaboration comes as Annalisa prepares for a major new chapter in her career. The singer-songwriter has in fact announced her first concert at Milan's San Siro stadium, scheduled for June 12, 2027. The event was unveiled through a trailer directed by filmmaker and photographer Nabil Elderkin, based on an idea by Annalisa herself: in the images, the artist symbolically travels through the different phases of her career, meeting the many versions of herself built up over the years, before arriving at the new transformation set to take shape on the San Siro stage.
The show will trace over fifteen years of activity, from her early days to her most recent hits, following the musical and visual evolution that has especially marked recent years. In keeping with her most recent tours, the concert will be built as an ever-shifting show, alternating spectacular, high-energy moments with more intimate passages, once again giving a central role to the fusion of music, performance and image.
