"Il sole di domenica" is a pop rock song with influences from electronic music.[9] The song was recorded live by the whole band, and then mixed as if the recordings were obtained through computer programming.[2]
Dolcenera explained the meaning of the song during an interview on May 16, 2011:
It is an invitation to be aware of our own personality, an invitation to our duty to express it, even if this could destroy our interior peace.[10]
Dolcenera also claimed that she wanted to express a complex concept using a "positive" pop-sound:
There are a lot of disco-songs with rhythms similar to those of my songs, but when you go to the disco, you can hear only lines such as "on the floor", and I believe that, adding deeper concepts to these sentences, you could keep your brain in training, even when you are dancing on the floor.[10]
