The Stolen Day Aitana Turned into an Anthem: the Story Behind “6 de Febrero”

For thousands of fans, February 6 stopped being just another date long ago. Ever since Aitana first shared a short fragment of the song that bears its name, this day has become an emotional symbol and one of the defining moments of the Catalan artist’s new musical era. But how was “6 de febrero” really born?

The first time we heard its opening lines

Aitana began writing “6 de febrero” after finishing her world tour “Alpha Tour”, during a period of personal and creative transition. That process was documented in “Metamorfosis”, where viewers can see the song’s earliest drafts and hear a brief excerpt of the chorus that, unexpectedly, would reshape her plans.

That video went viral in just a few hours. Fans turned it into a trend, repeating the same plea: “Aitana, release it.” The artist chose to wait. The song would not be published until May 6, three months later, intensifying the anticipation.

An anthem born from heartbreak

“6 de febrero” addresses a breakup Aitana experienced firsthand, marked by broken promises and a deep feeling of betrayal. In the song, she symbolically asks to have a day returned to her —a day she feels was “stolen.” Its mix of vulnerability and contained anger has resonated strongly with her fanbase, making it one of the defining songs of her new chapter.

An anthem that will resonate in Valencia

One of the places where the song promises to be sung with special intensity is the Roig Arena, where Aitana will perform on May 21 and 22, both concerts already sold out. For many fans, it will be the first chance to belt out the song live —a long‑awaited, cathartic and deeply meaningful moment.

Because by now, “6 de febrero” is no longer just a date or a song: it is a shared story between the artist and her audience, a fragment of life transformed into an anthem. During the shows, the whole venue will join her in reclaiming that symbolic day from the past.
