Background
editIn September 2025, Pausini publicly announced that she was working on a new cover album, twenty years after the 2006 studio album Io canto, with which she won the Latin Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Album with the Spanish version.[1]
On October 21, 2025, Pausini revealed the cover of the new albums on her social media profiles,[2][3] both of which feature the same font used for the first cover album, Io canto.[2] On December 16, 2025, she announced the release date of Io canto 2, released February 6, 2026, and Yo canto 2 scheduled for March 13, 2026, making known the tracklist and the available versions.[4][5] On January 22, 2026, the duets of the tracklist in Italian were announced, followed by the duets of the tracklist in Spanish on February 10, 2026.[6][7]
Promotion
editThe first single from the project was La mia storia tra le dita, released simultaneously in all the languages in which it was recorded: Italian, Spanish (Mi historia entre tus dedos), Portuguese (Quem de nós dois) and, for the first time, French (Mon histoire entre les doigts).[8] Subsequently, in Italy, Ritorno ad amare by Biagio Antonacci was released as the second single[9] and 16 marzo as the third in duet with Achille Lauro.[10]
La dernière chanson (Due vite) with Julien Lieb was also released as a single in France,[11] followed by Eso y más with Yami Safdie in Spain and Latin America.[12][13]
To promote the album, Pausini announced the Io canto World Tour 2026-2027, which will start in March 2026 and will include 54 dates in Europe, the United States and Latin America.[14]
