"Due vite" (Italian pronunciation: [ˈduːe ˈviːte]; transl. "Two lives") is a song recorded by Italian singer-songwriter Marco Mengoni for his eighth studio album, Materia (Prisma) (2023). It is the lead single and opening track on the album, released by Sony Music on 8 February 2023. The song was written by Mengoni with Davide Petrella and Davide Simonetta. Simonetta also produced the track together with E.D.D.[1] The song was Mengoni's winning entry for the Sanremo Music Festival 2023, the 73rd edition of the Italian musical festival, which doubled as the selection of the Italian act for the Eurovision Song Contest 2023.[2][3][4] It finished in fourth place at the Eurovision final with 350 points. Prior to the contest, "Due vite" reached number one in Italy.

A bilingual French-Italian version of the song, titled "La Dernière Chanson" ("The last song"), was released on 13 October 2023.[5]
