"Destri" is a song by Italian indie singer-songwriter Gazzelle, released as a single in 2020 anticipating his third studio album OK, of the following year.

In Italian, destri is the plural form of destro, meaning "right" (in the sense of "opposite to left") or "right-handed";^{[lower-alpha 1]} the word destro is also used figuratively to indicate a right-handed punch, as it is the case for this song.

In its debut week, the song peaked #2 on the Italian charts. It is one of Gazzelle's best-known songs, and it has been certified 5-time platinum.^{[lower-alpha 2]}

Song meaning[edit]

"Destri" is a breakup song talking about two ex-lovers. The protagonist is a boy who has been left by his girlfriend without a real explanation. This has left him disappointed, frustrated and longing for the past days, when they were happy together.
Musically, the song was born as a jam between Gazzelle, playing the piano, and his producer Federico Nardelli, playing guitar. As Gazzelle has stated, the song draws inspiration from the atmosphere of the early 2000s sound.

Promotional campaign[edit]

The song has been promoted with an advertising campaign in Rome and Milan, with posters reading "Non è colpa mia" (lang-en|"It is not my fault"), the opening line in the song's chorus.
