The song features epic orchestral elements layered on top of a piano and Aaron’s and Valerio’s nuanced and powerful voices, and it was born in a songwriting session the two were having after having met during Pride’s Got Talent 2017, of which they were both finalists.
With a friendship born under a rainbow flag, Valerio and Aaron decided to write a duet between two boys because, they say, “we have grown up listening to all sorts of love duets sung by a man and a woman – and we did love many of them! – but we realised there weren’t as many sung by two men, and we thought the world needed some more of this”. The single is released during Pride month and in the occasion of the finals of Pride’s Got Talent 2022, of which Valerio is one of the finalists. Valerio said that releasing this song in this particular moment is very significative, because “it’s the perfect way to celebrate pride and it’s our little part in helping the normalisation of love between men in popular culture”.
The song touches on their love for musical theatre, which, as Aaron said, “has always played a strong part with celebrating and supporting LGBTQIA+ talents. Also, if you tell me you haven’t imagined your life as a Musical at least once, then you’d be lying.”
The song comes with an official music video, shot last Autumn in London in collaboration with Go out of Tune and it’s on YouTube at this link: https://youtu.be/xJHHGYdVdHg
