Vasco Rossi, a song for women’s day
«Happy Women’s Day! Out here, there… And everywhere Lfree and if I like» writes Vasco on Instagram sharing the video of the song «performed by Denise Faro and dedicated to all of you». The Italian music star then published some verses of the song which perfectly tell the meaning of a song that is a hymn to women’s freedom: «Because you are my emergency. You are freedom. The imagination… the imprudence. Whatever I want.”
The meaning of Free and if I like
The song sung by Denise Faro is not just a tribute to women who must be and feel free to say no. It is much more than a simple dedication. Between the lines you can read the irony and the provocation aimed at men who must learn to be empathetic, that is, putting yourself in the shoes of others and accepting their will. A woman must feel free and be respected. Always, when she says no and… even when she says yes.
Vasco Rossi and songs for women
Moreover, it is not the first time that Vasco decides to celebrate the female universe by telling the different moments of women’s age in his songs. A few years ago in Vacuum to losefor the voice of Noemi, told of a woman struggling with changing her body and in search of its new charm. In 2020 Irene Grandi took to Sanremo Finally me which speaks of a further step towards women’s freedomhis full self-acceptance.
Free and if I like it closes the ideal trilogy, shades of women each different from the other, but all evolving. Today women are more liberated than ever and ready… for anything. It’s up to men now, to follow her (not chase her…). Overcoming one’s selfishness to love, and be loved, free and..”if I like, if you like”.
How it was born Free and if I like
On social media Vasco Rossi tells how this new song was born. «To tell the truth, it was all very casual and spontaneous. I had written with the complicity of Casini and Righi a song for Denise… I was thinking of giving it to her. PI realized that even though she is very resourceful and would have been able to produce it herself, I couldn’t just give it to her. I wanted to hear how she sang it » she says.
And he continues: «When I started making her sing I found myself on an adventure that I hadn’t considered… but now I was in the game and I had to go through with it. At a certain point I noticed that by playing herself she could actually represent the type of woman today… who wants to be Free, Free… and respected. Even when she says no».
Vasco also reveals that the initial idea was to bring the song to the Festival: «It was the end of January… the Sanremo festival was starting, I was definitely late to present it to Amadeus. I thought: it would be nice to release it on March 8th… Women’s Day… together with mimosas as a tribute to all women!».

«Free and if I like, there couldn’t be a better title for a song that talks about how a woman feels when she’s “free to love” and how ultimately love itself, loving and being loved, is what really makes us feel good, is our greatest freedom.”
