Background and composition
In October 2024, Toscano began work on her album, releasing its first single, "Tacchi (fra le dita)". [9] [10] In February 2025, Toscano competed in the 75th Sanremo Music Festival with the song "Amarcord," also included on the album. [11] [12]
Primarily a pop and dance pop record, the album features country, electropop, hip-hop and urban influences. [13] [14] The recording project consists of ten tracks written by Toscano herself and others including Alessandro La Cava, Andrea Blanc, Enè, Eugenio Maimone, Federica Abbate, Gianpiero Gentile, Mida, Nuvola, Olly, Jacopo Ettorre, Lele, Rocco Biazzi and Rondine, and producers including Cripo, Due, GNRD, ITACA, Riccardo Scirè, Shune and Wolvs. [15]
The project, an autobiographical tale by the singer-songwriter, [13] deals with themes related to everyday life at the end of a love story, discomfort, tennis and fashion, as well as the reference in the title to the charity event of the same name that takes place annually at the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. [16] In an interview with the magazine TV Sorrisi e Canzoni , Toscano said that the choice of the title and the meaning of the album "...is a wish for my future, I want to aim high. Participating in an event like this means having achieved real success. Sometimes I'm myself and every now and then it takes a boost of self-esteem. This is a reminder to think positively." [17]
Interviewed by All Music Italia, Toscano talked about the creative process behind the album: [18]
In some songs on this album, I wanted to go a little higher with my voice. And in this sense, "Maledetto ti amo" was the most difficult song to record. I co-wrote all the songs, but the album is a bit of a stream of consciousness. It's hard to say which was the hardest song to write. The title represents the desire to succeed, to set goals, to dream big. That would be a lot. [...] I wanted to play a lot. "Caos" is the first post-Amici song. I looked for other paths; I didn't want to be pigeonholed into just one genre. I talked about myself in many different ways. "Match Point," on the other hand, was the last song we wrote. We wanted to have fun and make a reference to tennis, which is a passion of mine: in this song, I use metaphors between the sport and everyday life. It's a song with a very arrogant sound, with less melodic pop than other songs like "Caos" or "Met Gala".
Album
On 2 September 2025, Toscano shared a "Met Gala" teaser video via her social media profiles. [21] [22] On 15 September, Toscano revealed the album's 3 October release via her social media profiles, along with the list of its ten tracks. [23] [24] On 1 October, two days before its release, the album was presented and promoted by the singer-songwriter herself at a press conference in Milan. [25] The following day, the singer-songwriter shared a second teaser video for the album's release on her social media profiles, which was followed by a release party, also held in Milan to coincide with the album's release.
