Confesso means "I confess" or "I admit". It's an interesting word because it implies a revelation or an admission of something that might be surprising or even a little scandalous.
In this song, the singer uses it when she says, "Mi sembra strano lo confesso, chiamarti s-e-s-s-o" (It seems strange to me, I confess, to call you s-e-s-s-o). This word adds a layer of intimacy and vulnerability, as she's admitting to a peculiar habit or feeling, making it quite engaging and memorable.
