In an interview with Estadão, the singer said that her happiness comes in painful times. “I'm so happy for my career, my life, news coming, like the Golden Globes and Oscars, which is a huge thing, a wonderful thing, and, at the same time, I can't see my parents, my daughter (8 years old) doesn't go to school. She's lucky enough to be very fanciful. So, during the day, she does a lot of things at our house, but she can't meet her friends,” says Laura.
“It’s probably the most important moment of my career, and it comes during a pandemic. So, one cannot fully enjoy it. But when I talk about it with my friends or family, they tell me that it's not fair for me to think that way. It's a sad time, so everything that is beautiful has to be enjoyed. I’m working on this a little, because I feel a little guilty,” she says.

Laura Pausini: “artistically I was dead”
“Imagine that, during my 28-year career, I spent less than ten months in my home. So, now, after a year closed, I confirm that I don't like being at home (laughs). At the same time, I need to learn to live more normally, because I also like to know that part. But, at first, it was difficult, because I couldn't find a balance. For example, I asked myself: can I write a song? I don’t have the desire, and I was always very focused on my daughter, very worried, because I didn’t want her to suffer”, she says. “But that was very difficult. So, artistically I was dead.”
Pausini says that after I do She continued composing. “This song gave me strength. So, I'm writing a lot, composing a lot, I'm preparing something new. I don't know when it will be released. Until now I don't have enough material for us to really hear my emotions. So, I need more time to make an album. But I'm writing. And I'm not artistically dead.”
