Composition Lyrics for the song are by Rocco Pagliarulo, Federica Abbate and Fabio Clemente, and music by Federica Abbate and Stefano Tognini. The singer explained the meaning of the song and his decision to collaborate with Spanish singer Ana Mena:"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."
