Song meaning: Summarizing bad-boy.it, the singer is involved in an affair with a woman living in a state of confusion, who has an unfulfilling life and unhappy relationship that she’s trying to make the most of. The woman seems resigned to putting up a facade in her “real” life and any scraps of happiness seem to just occur with the singer. The lovers are limited to meetings in a hotel and although he wants more than just an affair, he understands her situation and complex nature. He vows to keep what they have a secret and begs her in this moment while they are together to just “live for now” (the title of song) and love him like she’s never loved before.
That author notes that it’s usually a female in the singer’s role, loving in the shadows, making her paramour as happy as possible, as she patiently waits for him to leave his significant other. And indeed, the song was written by a female, international Italian singer Elisa.
