"Primavera in Anticipo (It Is My Song)" (English: "Anticipated Spring") is a pop duet between Italian singer Laura Pausini and British singer-songwriter James Blunt. It was released as the second single from Pausini's album Primavera in anticipo. The single was released on 2 January 2009. The song was also featured on the deluxe version of Blunt's second studio album, All the Lost Souls. The single was very successful in Europe, however, was not released in the UK or Ireland. The single was released simultaneously digitally and physically.

The single was released on one digital and physical format, both containing the same track listing. The song was backed with a Spanish version, "Primavera Anticipada (It Is My Song)".

A music video was released in many European territories. The video features Blunt and Pausini together in an Italian mansion, however, both are locked in separate, empty rooms with only their instruments to keep them company. As the song progresses, Blunt starts a fire in his room which spreads to the main hall of the building, leading to him having to rescue Pausini. The video was included on the deluxe edition bonus DVD of Blunt's All the Lost Souls.

"Primavera in anticipo" was chosen by Pausini to close all her World Tour 2009 concerts. The performance of the song in Monza was recorded and released in the Laura Live World Tour 09 live album. On 21 June 2009, as part of the "Amiche per l'Abruzzo" beneficent concert, Pausini shared the vocals of the song with Giorgia Todrani.

The song is also present on Pausini's Inedito World Tour. During such performances, images of a forest during the spring are shown in the videowall.

"Primavera in anticipo (It Is My Song)" was inserted as a solo Live on the album Laura Live World Tour 09 (audio e video) and Laura Live Gira Mundial 09 (video) in 2009.
