Gala co-wrote the song with Filippo Andrea Carmeni and Maurizio Molella, who both produced the track.

According to Gala, the song describes how in a society where men would not be ridiculed for their sensitivity, women could be freer.

British magazine Music Week gave the song five out of five, adding, "Already a massive hit in Europe, Gala's second single is easily as catchy as the platinum "Freed From Desire".

"[2] Chris Finan from their RM Dance Update rated it four out of five, commenting that "[it's] needless to say [that] UK demand will be as vigorous on its impending release.

However, musically this song definitely lifts the tempo and sound up somewhat, and Gala's vocals fit perfectly in the chorus.
