"L'edera" is an Italian language song, written by Vincenzo D'Acquisto and Saverio Seracini. The song premiered at the 8th Sanremo Music Festival in 1958, being performed by Nilla Pizzi and Tonina Torrielli, with separate performances, and placing second in the competition, behind "Nel blu dipinto di blu", by Domenico Modugno and Johnny Dorelli. "L'edera" was later recorded by several artists, including Claudio Villa.
In 1964, the Italian song was revived by Cliff Richard in an English language song with music based on L'Edera. The single, a non-album release officially titled "Constantly (L'Edera)" is more commonly known as just "Constantly". The music is still credited to Saverio Seracini, who composed the music for "l'Edera". The English lyrics to the song were written for Cliff Richard by Michael Julien. The recording was arranged and conducted by Norrie Paramor.
The British single reached No. 4 in the UK Singles Chart and was an international hit charting in Australia (No. 6), Ireland (No. 8), New Zealand (No. 3), Norway (No. 4) and Sweden (No. 10).
In some markets, "Constantly" appeared as a B-side to another Cliff Richard single "True True Lovin'"
