Background

[edit]

On 26 August 2019, Mahmood released a teaser for his new single on social media.[2] The song was produced by Dardust and Charlie Charles. The duo also produced the single "Calipso", which Mahmood features on. The song was certified gold in Italy. Wiwibloggs said, "A Latin slap in the face, the track comes with a contemporary beat that mixes exotic elements like a flamenco guitar with Mahmood’s signature sound. Inspired by the Francisco Tárrega, who composed the well-known piece "Capricho árabe" back in 1892, it unites Arabic and Spanish culture."[3]
