Elodie’s “Andromeda” is a cosmic break-up anthem wrapped in disco-pop glitter. The singer steps into the shoes of the mythical princess Andromeda, a damsel who once needed rescuing, yet flips the legend on its head. She admits to feeling fragile, “una catena che ho dentro,” but refuses to be anyone’s captive star, declaring that if she ever seems “piccola,” she will not play the helpless heroine. Between playful synths and Nina Simone references, Elodie confronts a partner who calls her “grande ma immatura,” exposing how easy it is to be grown-up in age but childish in love.
The heart of the song is self-worth and liberation. Elodie watches her partner shrink into a mere “punto tra la gente,” a tiny dot lost in the crowd, while she chooses to soar among galaxies on her own terms. By the final chorus, she boldly states he will never be her husband and begs him not to beg. “Andromeda” ultimately celebrates the moment you unchain your insecurities, reject someone who cannot meet you in your orbit, and blast off toward healthier horizons.
