Karaoke (Boomdabash and Alessandra Amoroso song)

Last updated

"I thought about it for a week and fought to carry on "Karaoke." I said, "You know what? I feel like doing it and I did it." I felt like singing it because it gives me happiness, it makes me laugh, I loved it. [...] I couldn't have come out with another piece. They proposed things to me especially in line with a certain record project, but that was not my reasoning. I really needed to come up with something light, to get a simple, strong message across that could 'revive' people after the lockdown and give them emotions and energy. "Karaoke" was my lifeline. For Boomdabash then I have a crazy love and also for their families. We are like brothers, we know each other well."
