Composition
editThe song, written by Cremonini with Davide Petrella and produced by Walter Mameli, has electropop and funk music references.[3] In an interiwew with Il Giornale singer explained the inspiration of the song:[4]
"It reminds me of Vasco Rossi of the 1980s when he wanted to go full throttle: this song will be the soundtrack of my fall tour."
Critic reception
editMattia Marzi of Rockol defined the song as a sequel of "Logico #1", in which "electropop sounds are present in a more pronounced way" with "keyboards and synthesizers called upon to bring to mind the hits of music from funk and dance-pop".[5] Luca of La Repubblica stated that "no one among the stars of Italian music has written a song of this quality in the past decade", associating the sounds to "Yuppies" by Luca Barbarossa.[6]
Music video
