Composition
Lyrics for the song are by Rocco Pagliarulo, Federica Abbate and Fabio Clemente, and music by Federica Abbate and Stefano Tognini.[8][9] The singer explained the meaning of the song and his decision to collaborate with Spanish singer Ana Mena:[10][11]
"Ana Mena and I had been writing to each other for years, and finally this year we found the right moment to make this song together. [...] It is about the summer we finally rediscovered, about the freedom we had after the lockdown ended. The song is about a girl who finally dances freely outside a club, a return to all the things that may have been forbidden in recent months. It's a song that brings together beautiful worlds: the rhythm of bachata with its distinctly Caribbean flavour, mixed with Italian song and Neapolitan melody. It's a Mediterranean song that unites Italy and Spain, when it nods to the Latin world in a new and modern way that will get everyone dancing and having fun! We met with Ana to make this song and we hit it off right away."
