"Ghosts (How Can I Move On)" is a song by English rock band Muse and Italin singer-songwriter Elisa. It was released through Warner Records and Helium-3 on 25 November 2022 as the sixth and final single from the band ninth studio album Will of the People. [1] [2] It was sent to Italian radio on the same day as final single. [3] [4] On December 9,2022,a second duet with French singer Mylène Farmer was released for French radio. [5]
The original album song was written and composed by Matt Bellamy as a solo voice ballad and piano recorded solely by frontman,and produced by himself with the band members Chris Wolstenholme and Dominic Howard. [1] [6] Bellamy explained the meaning of the song and its composition: [1]
"That one is an unusual one for us. I was surprised that Dom and Chris even wanted that on the album. During the pandemic,I did a couple things on my own,just on the piano,acoustic. This song was in my mind in that world:me on the piano,singing alone. It really is a direct expression of that loneliness,and also the tragedy of what was happening for so many people"
On November 25,2022,coinciding with the release of the original single,a second version of the song was released in collaboration with Italian singer-songwriter Elisa,who wrote the second verse in Italian. [7] [8] Taliking about Elisa's involvement on the record,Bellamy explained:"We always thought this song would be perfect for a powerful female voice. We are thrilled that Elisa is the first in a series of future collaborations that our fans will hear." [9] Elisa described the collaboration as "stimulating",as it represents a "beautiful intertwining of my personal history with them and the great artistic value of the band,made up of exceptional performers".
