Ubriacare means 'to get drunk' or 'to intoxicate'. While it might seem like a common word, its usage in this song is particularly evocative and metaphorical.
Serena Brancale sings, "Questa vita è una festa che ci fa ubriacare" (This life is a party that makes us drunk). Here, she's not just talking about literal intoxication, but rather the overwhelming, dizzying, and sometimes reckless feeling that life's celebrations can bring. It's a powerful image that captures the intensity of living life to the fullest, for better or worse.
In "Voglio Di Più," which translates to "I Want More," Serena Brancale delivers a powerful anthem about refusing to settle for less in life and love. She declares her independence, singing, "Non voglio un uomo accanto, io voglio me soltanto" ("I don't want a man next to me, I only want myself"). The song is a passionate cry for a deeper, more fulfilling existence, pushing back against a life that feels ignorant and stubborn. It's about the universal desire for more understanding, more joy, and more freedom to live authentically, even if it means making mistakes along the way.
Clementino's rap verse adds another layer, celebrating the journey of an artist from Southern Italy who has achieved success through hard work and sacrifice. He encourages Serena to keep going, reminding her that the people love her and that even greater opportunities lie ahead. Together, they create a vibrant and inspiring track that encourages listeners to demand more from life, to enjoy the good things, laugh more, and never stop striving for their dreams.
Serena Brancale grew up in Bari, on Italy's Puglia coast, in a house where music played constantly; her mother, a musician and teacher, gave her first lessons. She studied violin, theater and dance as a child, then earned a jazz vocal degree at the Conservatorio Piccinni. In 2011 she started the Serena Branquartet, blending nu-soul with jazz, and spent years building a following on that sound before turning back toward her own roots.
Her breakthrough came when she began singing in her native Puglian dialect, an homage to Pino Daniele, who had urged her to write in her own tongue. "Anema e core" carried her back to the Sanremo festival a decade after her 2015 debut there with "Galleggiare," went platinum, and led into her fourth album, Sacro. The duet "Serenata," with Alessandra Amoroso, became her biggest chart hit, and she returned to Sanremo again in 2026 with "Qui con me," picking up three awards.
