"Stella stellina" ("Star, Little Star") is a song co-written and recorded by Italian singer Ermal Meta, released on 25 February 2026 through Columbia and Sony Music as the second single from his sixth studio album, Funzioni vitali.[1][2]
The song was presented in competition during the Sanremo Music Festival 2026.[3][4]
"Stella stellina" was written by Meta himself and composed by him alongside Giovanni Pollex and Dario Faini (Dardust),[5] the latter also acting as producer.[6][7] Having marked the singer's sixth participation in the Sanremo Music Festival,[8] in an interview given to Radio Italia, he stated that the song "was born from a nursery rhyme we all know. The question is what happens when you mix a nursery rhyme with children in a situation where children meet a tragic end."[9] More specifically, Meta explained that the song recounts the story of a child killed by Israel during its war on Gaza.[3][10]
