It was released by Parlophone and Warner Music Italy on 6 February 2020 as the first single from the reissue of fourth studio album Magmamemoria.[2] The song was Levante's entry for the Sanremo Music Festival 2020, the 70th edition of Italy's musical festival which doubles also as a selection of the act for Eurovision Song Contest, where it placed 12th in the grand final.[3] "Tikibombom" peaked at number 8 on the Italian FIMI Singles Chart and was certified platinum in Italy.[4]


Background


The main theme of the song is diversity: it is dedicated to those who want to differentiate themselves from the crowd, which is embodied by the title.[5] The title, in fact, "repeats the rhythm of a dance song, typical of Saturday night mass culture". In the lyrics, the singer "compares the artificiality of a computerized sound to the cultural and artistic depth of tango" (Sei rimasto da solo, non segui il branco / Balli il tango, mentre tutto il mondo / Muove il fianco sopra un tempo che fa: / "Tiki-bom-bom-bom"; "You are left alone, you don't follow the crowd / You dance the tango, while the whole world / Dances on a rhythm that goes: / "Tiki-bom-bom-bom"").[6]


Commercial performance


The song was a huge radio hit in Italy, becoming the most played Sanremo song of the year on radio and the fifth overall in 2020.[7]


Music video


The music video for the song was released on YouTube on 11 February 2020. Directed by Giacomo Triglia, it reflects the non-homologation theme of the song and it also contains a reference to a short film by Chinese director Sing J Lee, which shows Levante surrounded by dancers all turned behind.[8]


Live performances


On 22 February 2020 Levante performed an acoustic version of the song live on Verissimo.[9]
