The song was written by the singer herself and Italian record producer Simon Says!. [5] In an interview with TV Sorrisi e Canzoni , she explained the meaning of the song: [6]
"[The album Genesi and the song "Chega"] are both the result of a phrase that has accompanied me over the years, which is, "I am my own revolution". In that album are my Brazilian roots, my family and everything about me. “Chega” in Portuguese has two meanings. It means "enough" but it also means "to arrive". They sound contrary but they are two consecutive actions. First the rejection of something that makes you feel bad and then the action of going down the street in search of a new life".
The song was also published in Italian language with the reiusse of the album Nuova Genesi. [7] On August 7, 2020, the official remix of the song was published featuring Strage. [8] [9]
The music video for the song, directed by Younuts, was released on March 16, 2020, through the singer's YouTube channel. [10] [11]
