Composition
The song, written by the singer-songwriter herself with Davide Petrella and is produced by MadFingerz and Zef. The song was described in a press conference:""Chiamo io chiami tu" is about that limbo of indecision that wears out our brains and does not bring us back into our most primal feeling and instincts. That's my whole reading of it. It's actually a mega-light, super danceable song, but it has a subtext that, if you listen a little bit harder, vertically, you can pick up on. If the song was a painting, or a drawing."
Critical reception
"Chiamo io chiami tu" received mixed-to-positive reviews from music critics.Andrea Laffranchi of Corriere della Sera wrote that although the Latin sounds may not be convincing, "Gaia instead puts in elegance and a sensual voice". Gianni Sibilla of Rockol described the song as having a "reggaeton rhythm and repeating refrain", however, not finding it particularly original. In a favorable review by All Music Italia, Alvise Salerno stated that the song is the singer's "artistic revenge", appreciating the choice of sounds.
