Imparanoi comes from the verb imparanoiarsi, which means "to become paranoid". It's a less common, more colloquial verb that adds a unique flavor to the lyrics.
In the song, the artist sings, "Che quando sono in giro da solo ti imparanoi" (Because when I'm out alone, you get paranoid). It vividly expresses the partner's anxiety and possessiveness, making it an interesting and memorable word to learn.
"Mano x Mano" ("Hand in Hand") is about a love that feels reckless and total. The singer admits he used to stumble with every wrong step, until this person drove him a little crazy and turned his life into a rainbow of feeling.
The chorus is the heart of the song: he and his partner will go to hell together, hand in hand, and it doesn't matter where they end up as long as they're together. He's not worried about the "hyenas and vultures" waiting for them to fail - they'll be waiting forever.
The second verse turns more reflective. He used to feel like a different person, unable to tell what was real, but whatever he's built of himself, he built from nothing. In the bridge, modern love gets a wry jab: when real emotion runs out, people just trade emojis, expressionless behind a screen.
Underneath the party energy, it's a song about choosing someone completely, flaws, risk and all, and refusing to let the world's judgment get in the way.
Fred De Palma is the stage name of Federico Palana, an Italian rapper and singer born in Turin in 1989. He got his start in the late 2000s battling in freestyle contests around Turin and Milan before going solo in 2012 and later signing with Warner Music Italy.
Over the following years he became one of the biggest names in Italian urban pop, blending rap with sun-soaked reggaeton and Latin pop, and he even competed at the Sanremo Music Festival in 2024. This track pairs him with Ana Mena, a Spanish singer and actress from Málaga, who sings her part in Italian. Their 2018 summer hit "D'estate non vale" was a breakout moment that turned Ana Mena into a star in Italy and remains one of Fred De Palma's signature songs.
