Palo santo is the new single by Caterina Cropelliavailable in digital stores from June 25, 2026 For Fairytale music with distribution Ada Music Italy. The release of the song is accompanied by the announcement of the first dates of the Trentino singer-songwriter's summer tour.
The single talks about a change of perspective in the face of adversity. It is an invitation to remember that happiness is an attitude; and therefore, it is possible to choose to be happy every day, changing perspective. The artist presents happiness as a daily choice, even when things don't go as expected.
Caterina Cropelli choose positive thinking in “Palo santo”
The song starts from simple, everyday situations to address a universal theme: the way we choose to react to the unexpected. Forgetting the umbrella while it rains or seeing the palo santo, a symbol of protection and well-being, go out, become images through which we reflect on the strength of our thoughts.
The song suggests that happiness does not depend exclusively on circumstances, but can become an attitude to be cultivated every day, even when reality seems to go in the opposite direction.
Speaking of Palo santo, Caterina Cropelli tells: “It's an emergency lifesaver, it's a song written with a friend, it's remembering that there is always a way. Our mind is a place inhabited by many thoughts and most of the time we let them work against us“.
“Palo santo” between shared writing and essential production
Palo santo comes from the writing shared between Caterina Cropelli And Alessandro Chesiniwhile the arrangement and production bear the signature of Tommaso Sgarbi. The mix and mastering were handled by Marco D'Agostino.
The song is part of the singer-songwriter's path, maintaining at the center a writing that combines pop and indie sensibility, favoring concrete images and personal reflections over more abstract narratives.
