Contents

Composition

The song was produced by Zef, wid uptempo and dance-pop sounds. [2] [3] It sempled the single "Point of View" by Italian house-pop group DB Boulevard, who appear as featured artist on the track. [4] [5] Interviewed by Anna Pettinelli on Radio Dimensione Suono, the singer told about the single:

"I had already started writing for next music projects, but it came like thunder in the clear sky and I said, 'okay, let's do it, because to me this piece blows my mind.' To me it honestly just gives that mood of lightness that is not synonymous with superficiality. [...] It was Zef and Davide Petrella in a very particular moment, because I was looking for different sounds, they came with this piece."

Critics reception

Alessandro Alicandri of TV Sorrisi e Canzoni stated that although it refers musically to the dance sounds of Point of View, "the song in its content and message is very current," calling it "a manifesto of a very precious lightness." [6] La Repubblica wrote that "Camera 209" presents a "sustained rhythm with a dance flavor," finding in it "a hymn to independence and the ability to free ourselves from those mental schemes that prevent us from living every moment to the fullest." [7]

Music video

The music video for the song, directed by Bogdan "Chilldays" Plakov, was released on February 7, 2024, through the singer's YouTube channel. [8] It was filmed in Formentera. [9]
