La Noia is a song by Italian singer-songwriter Angelina Mango. Co-written by Mango alongside Madame and Dardust, La noia saw Mango win the Sanremo Music Festival; Italy’s national selection competition for the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest.
Explaining the inspiration behind the song, Mango says: “I met with Madame and Dardust humanly, even before we met artistically, and that helped us find the line of the song.
“The idea of cumbia Latin American dance traditions came out while chatting with them; it’s the way I deal with life. This song came out of a reflection on time.
Boredom is seen as a negative thing, but actually it is time that you dedicate to yourself, it allows you to discover yourself.
“Between a life of highs and lows and one of boredom, I will always choose one of highs and lows, but I will always leave myself time for boredom too.”
La noia’s accompanying music video is directed by Giulio Rosati.
