Description
Appearing as the final track of the album, the song represents the first unpublished publication of the group to feature Italian language and was composed during the days off from the first tour held following their success at "X Factor Italy".[2] Regarding the meaning of the text, the Måneskin themselves explained that it concerns redemption:[2]
From evil, good can be born. Good can be born by believing in oneself and never giving up. With our badly judged arrogance we want to send a message to our generation: be sure of yourself.
