Background and composition

The second album features fifteen songs, written in both Italian and Portuguese by the singer-songwriter together with numerous collaborators. [2] [3] The songs feature musical influences, including pop, reggaeton, Latin, bossa nova, [4] addressing different themes related to spirituality, feminism, toxic relationships and the pain of overcoming childhood and adolescent trauma. [5] [6] The project features the participation of Francesca Michielin, Gemitaiz, Margherita Vicario, Tedua, Selton and Sean Paul. [7] [8] Interviewed by TV Sorrisi e Canzoni , Gaia stated about the album: [9]

It's everything I am and everything I believe in, an introspective journey that gathers emotions and thoughts from the last year and a half. [...] The album is me, without genres, without labels, for better or for worse. It's an album designed to be played and sung live.
