Music video
A music video of "Balorda nostalgia", directed by Giulio Rosati, was released on 12 February 2025 via Olly's YouTube channel.[3]
Sanremo Music Festival
Italian broadcaster RAI organised the 75th edition of the Sanremo Music Festival between 11 and 15 February 2024. On 1 December 2024, Olly was announced among the participants of the festival, with the title of his competing entry revealed the following 18 December.[4] Olly went on to win the festival, coming first with the public and second with the press and radio juries in the final round of voting.[5]
Having won Sanremo, Olly could represent Italy at the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest, being granted the right of first refusal, as had been the case since 2015. He first declared he was unsure about accepting or not representing the country, [6] ultimately declining on February 22. His replacement will be runner-up Lucio Corsi with the song "Volevo essere un duro".
