Mademoiselle

Sfera Ebbasta's song 'Mademoiselle' is a raw and candid commentary on societal blame and personal responsibility. The lyrics open with a stark welcome to Italy, a country where people often avoid taking responsibility for their actions. Sfera Ebbasta highlights how he is frequently blamed for societal issues, such as youth delinquency, instead of addressing the underlying problems that lead to such behavior. This deflection of blame is a recurring theme, as he notes that anything he says can and will be used against him, reflecting a sense of being perpetually scrutinized and judged.

The chorus of the song emphasizes the judgment he faces for his lifestyle choices, such as smoking, drinking, and spending money. He points out the hypocrisy of those who once smiled at him but now envy what he has and wish to take it for themselves. This sentiment is encapsulated in the repeated phrase 'Oh, oh, oh,' which suggests a carefree attitude despite the criticism. Sfera Ebbasta's use of 'Mademoiselle' in the chorus adds a touch of irony, as it contrasts the formal and polite address with the harsh reality of judgment and envy he experiences.

In the second verse, Sfera Ebbasta addresses his mother, reassuring her not to worry about censorship and societal judgment. He describes how his public image is often misunderstood and even feared, as evidenced by an exorcist claiming to be scared of him. This verse further delves into the repetitive nature of societal blame, where even silence can be misconstrued as guilt. The song concludes with a reiteration of the chorus, reinforcing the idea that despite the constant finger-pointing and judgment, Sfera Ebbasta chooses to live his life unapologetically.
