Background and composition
After directing the music video for the song "A te" by Jovanotti, in August 2009 Gabriele Muccino annucned an artistic collaboration with Jovanotti for his 2010 film Kiss Me Again.[3] The song was written by Jovabotti himself with Saturinino Celani and RIccardo Onori, with the music production of Michele Canova.[4][5] In an interview with Variety, Jovanotti explained the meaning of the song and the relationship with Muccino:[6]
"I had seen [Muccino] movies of course. I’m not a movie expert, but I felt that he had revolutionized the language of typical Italian cinema, that he’d brought a lot of innovation by telling stories with a different pace; by talking about a changed Italy. [...] I had decided to take a sabbatical at that time — which I do periodically to write and recharge my batteries — I wrote the song "Baciami Ancora". From then on we started hanging out. I went to see him at his home in Rome, then I visited him in Los Angeles when I went there; we spent New Year’s Eve together and we became friends, as these things happen. Unfortunately they happen quite rarely, because it’s not so often that a real friendship is born — one in which you share intimate things about yourselves sitting on a wall. "
Music video
The music video for the song was the second from Jovanotti discography to be direct by Gabriele Muccino after "A te" in 2009.[6] The video featured cameo from the film with the cast, including Stefano Accorsi, Vittoria Puccini, Pierfrancesco Favino, Claudio Santamaria, Giorgio Pasotti and Sabrina Impacciatore.[7] It was released on January 1, 2010, through the singer's YouTube channel.[8]
