It all started with a bass riff, rediscovered by chance in the archives of our rehearsal recordings. It was the summer of 2024: Xina and Inn had just returned from a show in Sardinia, after a night of partying that felt endless. In Bosa, the village festival was in full swing, the promoters wanted to keep going, and we pushed through until sunrise. It was a beautiful sunrise, with those deep, suspended colors typical of Sardinia. Carefree, yet filled with emotion: Inny had just lost her grandfather, and that moment-so light yet so full of meaning—left a mark on us.
Back in Milan, Xina was digging through old RUT! files and stumbled upon a very specific energy, almost like a premonition: that groove, that riff. Instantly, the vocal line for the chorus came to life: "When did dawn come? I can't recall." A repetitive, catchy, almost obsessive mantra that captures the disorientation of someone "coming back to themselves" after an intense night.
A few days later, during a trip to London, Sol and Xina continued writing the song-right on the flight home. Sitting side by side, still riding the London vibe, they began shaping the sung intro, the structure, and the electronic drum arrangements that gave the track an even more defined identity.
The final arrangement aims for the essential. The verses flow with a dancy, engaging groove, while the chorus and the special section bring back the band's rock nature. The guitars explode after a moment of silence, with a deep, distorted riff that weaves into the bass in a powerful but controlled climax.
While the lyrics might seem like just another party anthem, there's a deeper vision behind it. "Dawn" is the emotional residue of a night lived to the fullest— a sunrise that arrives unannounced and stuns you with its beauty. In that moment, you feel small but at peace: melancholic and grateful all at once. It's nature reminding you how powerful life is, even in its most confusing moments.
