"Casa mia" (transl. "My home") is a song by Italian rapper Ghali. It was produced by Michelangelo, and released on 7 February 2024. The song was Ghali's entry for the Sanremo Music Festival 2024, the 74th edition of Italy's musical festival which doubles also as a selection of the act for the Eurovision Song Contest, where it placed fourth in the grand final. After its first performance at the Sanremo Festival, the song was attacked by the head of the Milan Jewish community for its lyrical content (referencing hospital bombings), accusing him of "anti-Israeli propaganda" in the context of the Gaza war and requesting that host broadcaster RAI intervene; the artist responded by clarifying that the song had been written before the October 7 attacks but that he felt the duty to "take a stance" and "shed light on what [some] pretend not to see". A music video to accompany the release of "Casa mia", directed by Lorenzo Sorbini, was first released onto YouTube on 7 February 2024. Featuring an alien "halfway between a hippo and a dugong", the video has been described by Alessio Rosa on Videoclip Italia as "a fun jam session on a golf course".
