During a making-of video, Peter Trevisan explained the content of the piece with the following words: “The song is actually about a perfect day, a perfect day among many and I believe that everyone has experienced such a perfect day before and therefore can imagine something better. " The song is based on two verses, a bridge and a chorus . The song begins with the first verse, followed by the refrain for the first time. The same process is repeated with the second stanza, only the refrain is repeated in this case. After the third chorus there is a bridge before the song ends with the repetitive chorus. The stanzas only consist of a series of expressions and concepts. The first stanza deals with terms relating to the morning and noon of a day, the second to the evening and night.
