notes
A percussive organ/piano stack punches the four-bar hook that started life as a Bacardi jingle, tuned close to the M1-era 'Organ 2' timbre that Italo house producers leaned on. The filter cracks open on each hit and shuts fast so it never smears into the vocal, keeping the whole single bright and radio-friendly. No session sheet survives; reconstructed from the record's texture and the period's standard Ibiza/Italo house rig.
