After two victories, a second place and a participation as co-host, Arisa back to Sanremo Festivalcompeting among the Bigs, and tells his story Magical fairy tale.
“In this song I am a contemporary princess, who lives in a metropolis and has understood something simple but radical: Prince Charming does not arrive on horseback; he is the person he sees in the mirror”.
Written by herself Arisatogether with Giuseppe Anastasi, Galeffi And Mamakassthe song therefore tells the emotional journey of a woman: from childhood to adulthood, between the first discoveries of love, wounds, tiredness and the desire for peace.
In fact, within this fairy tale love becomes an ocean: a place in which to get lost and find oneself, up to the choice to give up the “war of the heart” to seek serenity, truth and protection.
“MAGICAL FAIRYTALE”: LOVE and happiness ACCORDING TO ARISA
During a meeting with the press, Arisa she told us that she focused for a long time on search for romantic love. This, however, took up a lot of her time and she thus lost the opportunity to cultivate many other things:
“Since I am no longer romantically involved, I see myself as more beautiful, serene and sunny. Probably, I haven't found the right person yet. But women don't necessarily need a man by their side. They know how to be self-sufficient and are capable of great things.
Now the rainbow is inside me and I will try to experience love in a slightly more universal way, dedicating more time to my friends, my family and myself.”
But that's not all! It is in fact necessary “regain your sensitivityof one's own feelings, and this means becoming a little like a child again. On the other hand, what made us happy as children is not that far from what could make us happy today.
We just need to take better care of our interiority, taking care of that little girl who – sometimes – we leave in a corner, but who instead needs to express herself and integrate with our adult version”.
From love we thus arrive at the theme of happiness, which for Arisa consists in being aware of not being able to have everything:
“For years I went into analysis. I looked inside myself and tried to understand who I really was. To do this, I allowed myself a period of solitude and Now I can finally say I'm happy“.
What we see today, however, is not the definitive Arisa: “I'm still on the way. I would like find the courage to fully explore myself, and then bring out everything that I am and leave an authentic sign of my passage“.

SANREMO 2026: “MAGICAL FAIRYTALE”, THE INTERVIEW WITH ARISA
During the interview Arisa he told us about the song with which he will take part – competing among the Bigs – in the Sanremo Festivalbut also of the cover he chose to perform together with Choir of the Teatro Regio of Parma during the evening dedicated to duets, that is What Women Don't Say: a manifesto song that – over the years – has become a true hymn to femininity and its strength.
“I deeply love this song because it tells of a very authentic femininity, which knows reality very well and which comes out neither winner nor loser. It is the femininity of all those women and mothers who, despite everything, go straight on their way“.
And it is precisely in this regard that Arisa he explained that he will not modify the original text, as he has done several times Fiorella Mannoia:
“On the Ariston stage I will sing 'We will tell you one more yes', but I will not address a man. I will rather refer to the openness and availability of women. 'No' implies closure. IInstead, I want to be inclusive, free. I don't want to put barriers between myself and the other. The women, in this song, are first of all human beings who do not lose their maternal meaning and motherhood is acceptance and understanding”.
