Critic reception
Andrea Laffranchi of il Corriere della Sera found in the rapper's artistic choice a search for "national-popular consensus," converting to music played and not rapped, arguing that the song "plays with rock stereotypes: a riff, foot-stomping drums, flames, and powerful engines."[6] Andrea Conti of Il Fatto Quotidiano wrote that the single opens with "a sustained bass line that captivates from the first notes."[7] Francesco Chignola of TV Sorrisi e Canzoni also reflected on the musical side, writing that it "starts off immediately with a powerful bass line, a fast beat, breaking down the boundaries between rap and rock, with an explosive orchestral finale," although he finds the lyrics a bit "full of automotive imagery."[8]
Music video
The music video for the song, directed by YouNuts!, was released on February 2, 2022, through the rapper's YouTube channel.[9]
