Composition
The song was written by Cremonini and produced by Walter Mameli, was described by the singer as his second "Marmellata n. 25" (2005). In an interview with TV Sorrisi e Canzoni Cremonini explained the meaning of the song:"This piece, which is very autobiographical, allows itself to play with relationships, putting the dog at the center between man and woman as if it were the watershed of our human, personal, family relationships. The main character is me desperately asking to sleep with my loved one, even promising not to touch her (laughs) ... and she finds the excuse "No, I have to sleep with the dog." At this point I, dressed as Robin -- I already have the video in mind -- leave and tell her all kinds of things, because ... we all have the number 10 in our backs, but then we miss penalties. The song, through the joke, hides a deep loneliness."
Music video
The music video for the song, directed by Giorgio J. Squarcia, was released on February 22, 2018, through the singer's YouTube channel.
