"Bando" is the debut song by Italian rapper Anna. It was released by Virgin Records on 31 January 2020.

The song peaked at number 1 on the Italian singles chart and was certified double platinum in Italy. An official remix with featured vocals by Gemitaiz and MadMan was released on 24 April 2020 and later included in the soundtrack of the 2023 film Fast X.

Release

An early version of the song was published on various music streaming platforms in November 2019. It was removed after two weeks for copyright infringement, due to the sampling of a beat by French music producer Soulker. At the start of 2020, Anna signed a contract with Virgin Records through which "Bando" was republished on 31 January, after having secured the usage rights from Soulker.[1][2][3]

On 24 April 2020, an official remix of "Bando" was released featuring the Italian rappers Gemitaiz and MadMan. This version of the song was included in the soundtrack of the 2023 film Fast X.[4] On 15 May 2020, another remix of "Bando" was released with the German rapper Maxwell, reaching number 80 in Germany and number 70 in Switzerland.[5] A remix single with British producer Endor was released on 11 June 2020, followed two weeks later by a new version featuring American rapper Rich the Kid.[6][7] A music video for the latter, directed by Sebastian Sdaigui and Gianluigi Carella, was released via YouTube on 30 June.[6]
