In 2019, the Milanese artist won the Sanremo Festival with this song and shortly thereafter placed second at the Eurovision Song Contest\u2014with one of the most modern songs Italy has sent to the international stage in a long time. \u00abSoldi\u00bb simply means \u201emoney,\u201c and that\u2019s exactly what everything revolves around: an absent father, a closeness that can\u2019t be bought, and a wound that the song transforms into an irresistible chorus.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h4>Profile<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Artist:<\/strong> Mahmood (Alessandro Mahmoud)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Published:<\/strong> February 2019, album \u00abGiovent\u00f9 bruciata\u00bb<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lyrics\/Music:<\/strong> Alessandro Mahmoud, Dario \u201eDardust\u201c Faini, Charlie Charles (Paolo Alberto Monachetti); Production: Charlie Charles &amp; Dardust<\/li>\n<li><strong>Genre:<\/strong> Pop with trap, R&amp;B, and Arabic influences (\u201eMoroccan pop\u201c)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Special features:<\/strong> Winner of Sanremo 2019, 2nd place at the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Die_Geschichte_hinter_dem_Lied\"><\/span>The Story Behind the Song<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Alessandro Mahmoud, born in 1992 in Gratosoglio, a suburb of Milan, grew up with his Sardinian mother; his Egyptian father left the family when the boy was still young. He later formed his stage name from his father\u2019s last name, Mahmoud, and the English phrase \u201emy mood.\u201c \u00abSoldi\u00bb was released in February 2019 as an entry in the 69th Sanremo Festival\u2014and caused a minor sensation: Although the live audience had favored another contestant, the combination of the jury\u2019s votes and televoting propelled Mahmoud to first place. The victory sparked a heated debate that extended into the political sphere, where some sought to dismiss the song as \u201enot Italian enough\u201c\u2014even though Mahmood was born and raised in Milan.<\/p>\n<p>As Italy\u2019s representative, he traveled to Tel Aviv in May 2019 for the Eurovision Song Contest. There, \u00abSoldi\u00bb finished in second place with 472 points\u2014Italy\u2019s best result in years\u2014and won the Best Composition Award at the Marcel Bezen\u00e7on Awards. The song went platinum multiple times in Italy, enjoyed international success, and was the most-streamed Eurovision song of all time on Spotify for a long time, until it was surpassed by the winning entry \u201eArcade\u201c in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Worum_geht_es_in_%C2%ABSoldi%C2%BB\"><\/span>What is \u00abSoldi\u00bb about?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\u00abSoldi\u00bb is an autobiographical song about a father who leaves, and about the money that comes between people where love should actually be. Mahmood tells the story from the perspective of both the child and the young man: of a figure who is rarely there, who hides behind cigarette smoke and empty promises, and who only gets in touch again when he needs something. The chorus revolves around this very word\u2014money\u2014and turns it into both an accusation and bitter mockery: as if a handful of bills could make up for the lack of affection.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Songtext_Bedeutung\"><\/span>Lyrics &amp; Meaning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The text thrives on a few, very precise scenes. Right at the beginning, the child is sitting in front of the TV eating, while the father casually asks if the child is happy\u2014a question that hangs in the air because the one who asks it is already distracted again the next moment. From such everyday scenes emerges the portrait of a man who announces grand plans and leaves behind small disappointments.<\/p>\n<p>The focus is on the chorus, in which the father keeps bringing up money. Mahmood flips the perspective: The son accuses his father of valuing only money and bitterly offers to settle everything with money if he can\u2019t think of anything else. What sounds like a catchy, danceable tune is, in reality, a reproach.<\/p>\n<p>One striking moment is the line sung in Arabic, in which a father\u2019s voice tenderly calls the child to him\u2014\u201emy son, come here.\u201c It breaks into the Italian lyrics like a memory that can\u2019t be shaken off: the sound of one\u2019s roots, the longing for closeness, and the pain of its absence\u2014all in a single phrase. It is precisely this shift in language that makes \u00abSoldi\u00bb so special\u2014it brings Mahmood\u2019s dual heritage directly into the song.<\/p>\n<p>Toward the end, the tone shifts from lament to defiance: The narrator makes it clear that he doesn\u2019t need the money\u2014and thus the affection reduced to mere money. The painful childhood memory becomes an assertion of self. It is precisely this mixture of anger, melancholy, and dignity that resonates far beyond the narrator\u2019s own family history.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%ABSoldi%C2%BB_im_Video\"><\/span>\u00abSoldi\u00bb in the video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At the top of the page, you\u2019ll find the official music video for \u00abSoldi\u00bb by Mahmood (directed by Attilio Cusani), which has now racked up well over 100 million views.

This \u201ecubist\u201c chorus, as critics have described it, became the song\u2019s trademark.<\/p>\n<p>It is also noteworthy just how much \u00abSoldi\u00bb became a political issue. The fact that a child of Egyptian-Italian descent competed for Italy in Europe\u2019s biggest music competition was cheered by some and viewed with suspicion by others\u2014of all times, during a period of heated debates on immigration. Mahmood always responded calmly, pointing out that he was \u201e100 percent Italian\u201c and was simply writing about his own story.<\/p>\n<p>His success was no fluke: In 2022, Mahmood returned to Sanremo and won the festival for a second time\u2014in a duet with Blanco and the song \u00abBrividi.\u00bb This makes him one of the defining voices of Italian pop music of his generation. But \u00abSoldi\u00bb remains the song that started it all.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fazit\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\u00abSoldi\u00bb is more than just a catchy tune with a clapping chorus: it\u2019s a son\u2019s deeply personal reckoning with an absent father, wrapped up in a sound that has audibly propelled Italian pop into the 21st century. If you want to understand why this song took half of Europe by storm in 2019, listen closely\u2014and you\u2019ll discover, behind the word \u201emoney,\u201c a story about everything that money simply can\u2019t buy.
