Honey (Are You Coming?)
Måneskin
The song opens with a guitar figure so deliberately sleazy it almost winks at you — a tightly coiled funk riff with just enough glam grime in the tone to signal exactly the kind of party being proposed. Måneskin operate here in full predator mode, the production polished but never sterile, leaving room for the live-wire snap of a band that actually plays rather than assembles. Damiano David's vocal delivery is the controlling force — somewhere between lounge invitation and calculated aggression, honey-voiced in the verses and then suddenly feral in the chorus, the shift executed with enough control that it feels like a choice rather than a loss of composure. The rhythm section drives with a confidence that borders on arrogance, and the song earns it. Lyrically the conceit is straightforward — desire rendered as pursuit, the subject asked again and again to close the distance — but the execution gives it enough ambiguity to avoid reduction. This is peak post-Eurovision Måneskin, the band fully inhabiting their role as the unlikely inheritors of seventies rock excess filtered through Italian flair and Gen Z shamelessness. You play this in a pregame, in a car full of people who haven't yet decided the night's shape, in any context where momentum needs manufacturing and subtlety would be counterproductive.
