During his performance at a recent event, Italian singer-songwriter Ermal Meta wore a shirt with the name 'Amal' embroidered on the collar, signifying not just one girl but embodying the countless innocent victims of Gaza who have suffered in the conflict. Amal’s name serves as a poignant reminder of the tragic realities faced by children in war, with Meta stating that the character in his song 'Stella stellina' is unnamed, representing all the girls affected by violence around the world.

In his social media posts, Meta explained that names like Aysha, Layla, Nour, and Hind can also represent these innocent children, as a way of humanizing the statistics and emphasizing their shared plight. He notes that the theme of his song extends beyond personal narratives and highlights the broader consequences of war on childhood, suggesting that these girls can be seen as 'daughters of nobody, yet daughters of everyone'.

Meta's artistic choice to incorporate such a heartbreaking theme into a lullaby underscores his commitment to addressing difficult issues through his music. His previous works, such as 'Vietato morire', which tackled domestic violence, indicate a pattern wherein he leverages his platform to bring attention to social problems. His decision to expand the narrative to include all children affected by war, rather than focusing solely on his own experiences, reflects a deep empathy and concern for global human rights issues, amplifying the message that every child's story is significant and worthy of remembrance.
