Madonna Debuts ItalianLa Bambola’ Cover for Dolce & Gabbana’s The One Campaign

The singer casts the 1968 Patty Pravo hit as an anthem of defiance rooted in her longstanding ties to the designers.

Overview

  • The campaign video and song were released January 7 on YouTube and are now available on major streaming services, including Spotify.
  • Dolce & Gabbana say they chose Madonna for the relaunch of The One based on a decades-long relationship and a collaborative song selection process.
  • Coverage notes this marks the first time in her career that Madonna sings in Italian, recorded specifically for the campaign.
  • Initial reactions highlight the novelty and theatrical tone of the rendition, with some commentary pointing to uneven pronunciation and limited promotion on Madonna’s own channels so far.
  • Reporters observed a metadata oddity on streaming platforms that lists the track as dated October 1, 2025, despite the public rollout this week.
