"Benvenuto" [beɱveˈnuːto] / "Bienvenido" [bjembeˈniðo] (Welcome) is a song recorded by Italian singer Laura Pausini for her studio album Inedito.

[16] Together with the immediacy of its lyrics, this transformed "Benvenuto" in a radio-friendly song,[11] in the style of some of the latest Pausini's hits.

[18] However, Pausini later explained that, despite not being a sample, the intro of "Benvenuto" is an explicit tribute to Phil Collins, who produced Frida's single and played the drums in it.

[19] "I heard that he [Phil Collins] was going to retire from making music while I was with him for a concert in Geneva, so, together with my staff, during the same night we decided to pay a tribute to him with this drum-based intro.

"[20]According to Allmusic's Jon O'Brien, "Benvenuto" is "one of the most anthemic tracks she's put her name to thanks to its clattering drums and soaring melodic chorus".

[21] Containing a few reference to current events,[16] the single is an anthem to the future,[1] written with the aim to inject courage and optimism to the listeners, despite the worldwide economic crisis that began in the late 2000s.

[29] Gaetano Morbioli declared about the video: "We reconstructed a situation that somehow evokes the big gatherings of a few years ago, a sort of modern-day Woodstock.
