Brividi (Italian for Shivers) is a heartfelt ballad where Mahmood and BLANCO ride an imaginary “bicycle made of diamonds” through the highs and lows of an intense romance. The song captures that electrifying moment when love feels magical yet frightening: dazzling dreams, passionate nights, and skin-tingling chills collide with insecurities and self-sabotage. Each line swings between tenderness and turbulence, showing two people who crave a perfect love but keep tripping over their own fears.
The singers confess they struggle to communicate, blur their feelings with “drugs and tears,” and sometimes lash out with poisonous words. Still, beneath the doubt lies a powerful desire to stay together, even if it means paying any price or believing a comforting lie. Brividi ultimately paints love as a beautiful but precarious balance—one that can lift you into the sky or leave you “naked with shivers.”
