Background and composition[edit]

The song was announced on August 8, 2023 with a 30-second excerpt posted on the band's official Instagram account.[3][4]

The song was written by the band's members with Sylvester Sivertsen, Justin Tranter, Jussi Karvinen and Cxloe, at the end of Måneskin's North American's tour between London and Los Angeles.[5] The frontman Damiano David explained the meaning of the song:[6]

"It is the story of a meeting between two people who together see a bit of sadness in each other's eyes, something that makes them feel out of place. It is an invitation to join in a new adventure without actually knowing what awaits them and enjoy the journey".

Promotion[edit]

The band performed the song at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards on 12 September.[2][7]

Critical reception[edit]

Elena Palmieri of Rockol wrote that the single "presents other cues and influences than those recognisable in the group's previous works" in reference to the sounds of Muse's "Time Is Running Out" and The Killers's "Mr. Brightside", with a "rage in the sound" and "a more raw spirit".[8] Valentina Giampieri of GQ Italy defined the song as the band "most successful experiment" showing them "tireless in their desire to experiment with every nuance of rock".[9]
