"Ghosts (How Can I Move On)" is a song by English rock band Muse, featuring Italian singer Elisa Toffoli. It was released through Warner Records and Helium-3 on 25 November 2022 as the sixth and final single from Muse's ninth studio album Will of the People,[1][2] and was sent to Italian radio on the same day.[3][4] On December 9, 2022, a second duet with French singer Mylène Farmer was released for French radio.[5]
The original album song was written and composed by Matt Bellamy as a solo piano ballad, and produced by himself with fellow band members Chris Wolstenholme and Dominic Howard.[1][6] Bellamy explained the meaning of the song and its composition:[1]
"That one is an unusual one for us. I was surprised that Dom and Chris even wanted that on the album. During the pandemic, I did a couple things on my own, just on the piano, acoustic. This song was in my mind in that world: me on the piano, singing alone. It really is a direct expression of that loneliness, and also the tragedy of what was happening for so many people"
On November 25, 2022, coinciding with the release of the original single, a second version of the song was released in collaboration with Italian singer-songwriter Elisa, who wrote the second verse in Italian.[7][8] Taliking about Elisa's involvement on the record, Bellamy explained: "We always thought this song would be perfect for a powerful female voice. We are thrilled that Elisa is the first in a series of future collaborations that our fans will hear."[9] Elisa described the collaboration as "stimulating", as it represents a "beautiful intertwining of my personal history with them and the great artistic value of the band, made up of exceptional performers".[10]
