"L'edera" (Italian pronunciation: [ˈleːdera]; "The Ivy") is an Italian language song, written by Saverio Seracini and Vincenzo D'Acquisto. The song premiered at the 8th Sanremo Music Festival in January 1958, being performed first by Nilla Pizzi and then 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 Italian artists, including Claudio Villa.

"Constantly (L'Edera)"

In 1963, the song was recorded by Cliff Richard in English with lyrics by Michael Julien, arranged and conducted by Norrie Paramor. It was released as a non-album single in 1964.

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).

"True True Lovin'"

In some markets, "Constantly" appeared as a B-side to another Cliff Richard single "True True Lovin'". In Hong Kong, this configuration reached at least number 6.
