“Due” is Elodie’s roller-coaster confession of a love that burns bright, burns fast, and burns out. The relationship is still brand-new, yet the singer already feels its tragic ending creeping in. Each late-night phone call that drops into silence, every tear that threatens to fall, shows two possible outcomes: “lacrime mie o lacrime tue” – either my tears or yours. Elodie paints her lover as intoxicating wine and a sour, off-key note at the same time, revealing how passion and pain can be inseparable.
At the heart of the song is the number two. Two people, two futures, two sides of every feeling. She wants to walk away, but her heart keeps dancing, unwilling to choose between staying and leaving. “Due” captures that bittersweet moment when you realise a love story might be doomed, yet you still crave one more spark, one more chance, one more “ti cerchi” at three in the morning. Listeners can almost feel the rush of emotions swirling inside every fragile whisper and thunderous beat.
