"Karaoke" is a song by Italian group Boomdabash and Italian singer Alessandra Amoroso.[1] It was released on 11 June 2020 through Universal Music Italy, as the lead single from the group greatest hits album Don't Worry (Best of 2005-2020).[2][3]
The song peaked at number one on the Italia Singles Chart, becoming the best selling song ot 2020 in Italy. It also marked the artists second commaboration after "Mambo salentino" published in 2019.
"Karaoke" is the second collaboration between Amoroso and Boomdabash after the single "Mambo salentino" published in 2019.[4][5] The song was firstly written by Federica Abbate and Rocco Pagliarulo, and then produced and rewritten by Boomdabash.[6][7]
In an interview with Il Fatto Quotidiano, Amoroso explained the meaning of the song and her decision to sing it:[8]
"I thought about it for a week and fought to carry on "Karaoke." I said, "You know what? I feel like doing it and I did it." I felt like singing it because it gives me happiness, it makes me laugh, I loved it. [...] I couldn't have come out with another piece. They proposed things to me especially in line with a certain record project, but that was not my reasoning. I really needed to come up with something light, to get a simple, strong message across that could 'revive' people after the lockdown and give them emotions and energy. "Karaoke" was my lifeline. For Boomdabash then I have a crazy love and also for their families. We are like brothers, we know each other well."
