List of songs recorded by Måneskin explained

Italian rock band Måneskin has been officially formed in 2016 by the vocalist Damiano David, bassist Victoria De Angelis, guitarist Thomas Raggi, and drummer Ethan Torchio.[1] Initially, they performed as baskers and published their covers on YouTube.[2] In 2017, they took part in eleventh season of the Italian talent show X Factor, where they performed such covers as "Beggin'" by the Four Seasons, "Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand, "Somebody Told Me" by the Killers and "Let's Get It Started" by The Black Eyed Peas. as well as their original alternative rock song "Chosen".[3] Later that year, "Chosen" was released as the band's debut single. It, alongside covers performed in the talent show and another original song "Recovery", composed Måneskin's first extended play Chosen.[4] The following year, the group released their debut album Il ballo della vita (2018), which was a funk rock and pop rock effort, containing influences of reggae and ska.[5] The album features two prominent figures in its lyricism, a muse "Marlena" and a man who wants to be with her until the very end.[6]

For their 2021 album , Måneskin took a direction to hard rock and glam rock genres. With the title translating to "theatre of wrath", the lyrics focus on venting and rebelling against anything that might have failed them.[7] Examples of hard rock influence on the project can be heard on songs such as "Zitti e buoni" and "I Wanna Be Your Slave",[8] [9] while the album also contains more dimmed tracks such as power ballad "Vent'anni" and "Coraline".[10] [11] Following the band's victory on Eurovision Song Contest 2021, they recorded an alternate version of "I Wanna Be Your Slave" with American punk-rock singer Iggy Pop, while their cover of "Beggin became widely popular.[12] Måneskin's subsequent release was "Mammamia", a club-oriented dance-punk and rock "banger".[12] [13] [14] In 2022, they began working on their third studio album with Swedish producer Max Martin, writing around ten tracks with him.[15] One of them was pushed as a single―inspired by California sound "Supermodel",[15] which is a pop rock song with grunge intro.[16] [17]

Besides their own projects, Måneskin collaborated with Francesca Michielin on a song "Stato di natura",[18] as well as they contributed to the soundtrack Elvis with a cover of Elvis Presley's "If I Can Dream".[19]
