"Confusa e felice" (lit. 'Confused and happy') is a 1997 song composed and performed by Carmen Consoli.
The song was Consoli's entry in Sanremo Music Festival 1997; the initial choice for the festival was "Diversi", but eventually Consoli preferred to enter the competition with a less traditional and more courageous song.[1] The song was eliminated from the competition after the first night.[2] In the following weeks, it became a surprise hit, also thanks to its being chosen as the soundtrack for a commercial for the Rocco Barocco's Piazza di Spagna perfume.[3]
The style of the song has been paired to Irish rock, goth rock and to Janis Joplin's existentialist ballads.[3] It has been described as a song where 'rock lunges and oblique melodies alternate, supported by a voice that is sometimes confidential and sometimes high-pitched'.[1]
In 2012, Francesca Michielin covered the song in her EP Distratto.[4]
