Exceeding the threshold of 8 million monthly listeners on Spotify on several occasions, they are still the artists with the most monthly listeners on the platform among those who participated in the 74th Sanremo Festival. The music video entered the Top 10 among the most watched videos on YouTube in the Music section and on VEVO with over 16 million views. On TikTok the song went viral to the point of being the second most used song in Italy for over two weeks with more than 340 thousand creations and 630 million total views. At the same time, Ricchi e Poveri are the artists from Sanremo who on TikTok had the highest percentage growth in number of followers (+780%).
“Ma non tutta la vita” is a declaration of intent, a pop translation of the philosophy of the moment, of the hic et nunc, of the love that is expected but not all of life, of trains to be taken on the fly, of opportunities not to be squandered. The song, written by Edwyn Clark Roberts, Cheope and Stefano Marletta and arranged by Merk&Kremont and Edwyn Roberts, is a hymn to living life to the fullest: «This song is an invitation not to postpone – say Angela Brambati and Angelo Sotgiu – to launch yourself to pursue what you want not only in the emotional sphere, in the relationship, but in general in the things that we are passionate about».
The Ricchi e Poveri concert in Caserta is added to the program of “Un'Estate da BelvedeRE 2024” which this year will be held in two venues, both declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.
