"Perdono" (Italian for 'Forgiveness'; also released under the title "Xdono") is a 2001 song recorded by Italian singer Tiziano Ferro. Released on May 12, 2001, it was the singer's debut single and the lead single from his album Rosso Relativo, which was released four months later. The single achieved huge success in many European countries and even topped the charts in the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Austria and Belgium (Wallonia).
The song, considered as "sweet and melodious" in its Franco-Italian version, was much aired on radio in France.[2] The music video was directed by Matteo Pellegrini.
The record producer, Michele Canova, revealed after 21 years that Ferro's song was copied and "lifted and dropped" from a song by American rapper R. Kelly.[3][4]
