The song deals with individual freedom, describing the feelings of a young couple which faces with hope the difficult moment when they have to start living as adults, while feeling a shared sense of alienation within a society they consider hypocritical. During an interview released in 2009 to the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, Mogol explained that "The Italian society in that years was very conformist. And [in the song] there's a couple which rises up against conventions, claiming a right to individual liberty, a right to love." As revealed by Mogol himself, the song was inspired by Mogol's relationship with a young woman after the end of his marriage, and by his feeling that "at that time, the orthodox disapproved that kind of things."
