''Hundred More Years'' is the second studio album released by Francesca Battistelli on March 1, 2011. Speaking with Songfacts, Battistelli explained the background to the album's lead single, "This Is The Stuff": "I came up with like 20 different frustrating things, and we just picked our favorites. The idea of me losing my keys and my phone is very true to my life. I'm constantly having my husband call my phone because I can't find it, and then it happens to be in my purse or in my pocket - it's a very true line."〔(【引用サイトリンク】 This Is The Stuff )〕 ==Critical reception== ''Hundred More Years'' has been acclaimed by music critics.
