Fior Di Latte

Here, Thomas Mars rapturously compares a love interest to an Italian ice cream. Fior di latte, fior di latte Throw your weight around behind me Fior di latte, fior di latte Don't think about it, trigger me happy Phoenix explained to NPR: "[Fior Di Latte] is a song about desire, fior di latte being the most erotic ice cream the Italian could imagine."

Many of the songs on Ti Amo feature a romanticized vision of Italy. Speaking with MTV News, Thomas Mars recalled clicking through old Italian pop hits and "pre-Berlusconi–era TV shows" on YouTube for inspiration when writing the record: "It's a goldmine," he said. "Sometimes the music is awful, but you just love the logo in the back. Or sometimes you're surprised at how deep the music is, and the twist in the lyrics. And because the references are so far [off] in time and space, you don't feel like you're stealing."
