M\u00e5neskin<\/a> frontman\u2019s upcoming debut solo project \u2014 arrived on Thursday (Feb. 27) and finds the Italian musician continuing on his pop journey, this time with a notable ache and jealousy in his voice. <\/p>\n\n\t\u201cCall me when he breaks your heart next summer\/ Baby, I\u2019ll be waiting here\/ Call me when you\u2019re all f\u2013ked up, my lover, and I\u2019ll be there to lick your tears\/ You had to throw away our love to find out nothing\u2019s as good as us\/ So call me when he breaks your heart next summer,\u201d he sings, full of longing on the tender chorus.<\/p>\n
\n\tWhile the song may seem like it\u2019s about a spurned lover bitter about the end of his relationship and eager to rekindle the snuffed flame, David says there\u2019s much more to it.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cI put down in words a moment I lived during the summer,\u201d he tells Billboard<\/em> of the track that he wrote while he was in Los Angeles last fall. \u201cI guess it was a way, as I always do with my music, to cope with my experiences in life and feelings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t\u201cThe lyrics are very simple, quite childish. So I\u2019ve asked myself why I ended up with this kind of lyrics, and I guess it\u2019s because what I tried to do was tell a more intense and complicated feeling in the easiest way possible,\u201d he explains. \u201cIt\u2019s about not dealing with yourself and being stuck in your own limits without really understanding why things happen. It\u2019s about not being able to face our mistakes, and instead, in a cowardly way, wishing that your mistakes could be someone else\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tAhead of \u201cNext Summer,\u201d the musician released a cover of Miley Cyrus and Mark Ronson\u2019s \u201cNothing Breaks Like a Heart\u201d as a Spotify Single for Valentine\u2019s Day. From his own upcoming project, he dropped the peppy \u201cBorn With a Broken Heart\u201d in October as his second solo single, and \u201cSilverlines\u201d in September for his debut song. <\/p>\n
\n\tSpeaking to Billboard<\/em> at the time about going his own way musically and introducing listeners to the solo Damiano David via \u201cSilverlines,\u201d he shared of the vulnerable and melancholic track, \u201cIt\u2019s basically describing my whole journey.\u201d He added, \u201cThe goal of this song is not topping the charts. I\u2019m introducing myself to the world \u2026 But I\u2019m just very glad I have the opportunity to do this, and the results will come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\tWhat\u2019s also coming for the singer is a 33-date world tour, with multiple shows already sold out. That includes the tour-opening performance Sept. 11 in Warsaw, followed by dates in Berlin, Paris, London and Rome before the trek heads to Australia, Japan and South America, and finally landing stateside in Seattle Nov. 21. The tour is slated to end Dec. 16 in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n
