Marco Mengoni (Italian pronunciation: [ˈmarko meŋˈɡoːni]; born 25 December 1988) is an Italian singer-songwriter. He rose to fame in 2009, after winning the third series of Italian talent show X Factor. His debut extended play, Dove si vola, was preceded by the single with the same title, which reached the top spot of the Italian Top Digital Downloads chart and also served as his coronation song.
In February 2010, Mengoni competed in the 60th Sanremo Music Festival with the song "Credimi ancora", placing third in a field of fifteen. The song was included in his second extended play, Re matto, which debuted at number one in Italy. The EP was promoted through an Italian tour, which yielded the live album Re matto live.
Mengoni's first full-length studio album, Solo 2.0, was released in September 2010, and it was certified gold by the Federation of the Italian Music Industry. In 2013, Mengoni won the 63rd Sanremo Music Festival with his song "L'essenziale". During the competition he was internally selected by RAI to represent Italy in the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 in Malmö, where he performed "L'essenziale". The song also became the lead single of the album #prontoacorrere, which became his fourth number-one on the Italian Albums Chart.

We are oh oh
Standing on the edge
Waiting in the darkness looking for something
trying to find a way around
with tired eyes and fear inside
that you never gonna hear that sound
that saves us all from falling
can you hear the calling out
the calling out
Looking for the bright star looking in wonder
shining in the sky tonight
gonna glimpse at the sun
like a shot from a gun
and I'm waiting for the morning light
Whatever I see
whatever I choose
I know she will be standing next to me
oh she will be standing there
Someone put the light on
it's all we can see
what we've done
Hold on my dear sooner or later
everything will come to rest
if they take my light
in the dare of the night
then you can have my last breath
Whatever I see
whatever I choose
I know she will be standing next to me
oh she will be standing there
Someone put the light on
it's all we can see
what we've done
