Pesca literally means "peach" in Italian. However, in this song, it's used as a slang term for "butt" or "booty", similar to how "peach" can be used in English slang.
This double meaning makes the word particularly interesting and enticing. The artist, GionnyScandal, repeatedly uses pesca to refer to a woman's backside, highlighting its size and movement in a playful and provocative way. It's a great example of how everyday words can take on new, colloquial meanings in music.
"Pesca" is a playful, explicit party track built around a pun: "pesca" means both "peach" and "fishing" in Italian, and GionnyScandal uses it here as a nod to a woman's figure. Over a club beat, he compliments (and gently objectifies) her looks, comparing her to a full moon and to a peach that gets more impressive the more she moves.
The verses lean into exaggerated, comedic bravado: nicknames like "papi," pop culture references (Stranger Things, Elite), and over-the-top boasts about admirers. It's tongue-in-cheek rather than serious, in line with GionnyScandal's usual comedic rap style.
GionnyScandal is the stage name of Gionata Ruggieri, an Italian singer, songwriter and rapper born in 1991 in Pisticci, in the southern region of Basilicata. His childhood was shaped by loss: adopted as a toddler and raised in Seregno just north of Milan, he lost his adoptive father at four, his mother at eleven, and in 2012 the grandmother who had brought him up. Those years became the raw material of almost everything he writes.
He started making a name for himself in the Italian rap scene around 2010 and released his first studio album, "Haters Make Me Famous vol. 3", in 2011. Since then he has become one of the defining voices of Italian emo rap, a style that sets melodic, sung hooks against blunt and confessional lyrics, and he has collaborated widely, including with pop veteran Max Pezzali. "MI MANCHERAI" arrived in 2023, one of the singles that led into his "Black Mood 2" project.
