Text and meaning of Shit daythe new single by Seltsamout Friday 10 July for Honiro Label.
After the route a Sanremo Giovani 2025 with Sorry mom and the single How's it going buddy?, Seltsam returns with a song that changes register compared to his more intimate and nostalgic pages. Here the tone is direct and cheeky, with irony used as a reaction to bad days.
Seltsam – Shit day: the meaning of the song
There are those who face bad days with silence and those who choose to laugh about it. Shit day comes from this second path: it is the instinctive outburst against everything when everything seems to be going the wrong way, but behind the anger there is a simple and universal message, that is, that even the worst days end, and often the best way to deal with them is to learn to smile about them.
The song is a photograph of those days in which everything seems to be working against you, and at the same time an invitation not to take yourself too seriously, finding a form of resistance in lightness. The writing, immediate and without filters, holds emotion and sarcasm together: it talks about fragility without giving up the desire to react, and grants the right to vent, transforming frustration into something shareable.
He himself tells the story of the genesis of the piece Seltsam:
“Shitty Day was born on one of those days when it seems like anything could go wrong. I needed to transform that frustration into something that would make me smile first and foremost. I think everyone, at least once, has had the feeling of being against the world. This song is my way of remembering that it's okay to vent, curse and laugh about it, because in the end even the worst days pass.”
