It was written by Anfrando Maiola and Stefano Cundari and produced by Stefano Cundari and Alessandro Zanni. The song reached No. 11 in Switzerland, No. 23 in Germany and No. 28 in the Netherlands. Like Koto's previous single "Visitors", it is considered part of the "spacesynth" canon. It is their most remixed song, with twelve official remixes.
