Background and composition
The song was firstly written by Federica Abbate, Alfredo "Cheope" Rapetti and Rocco Pagliarulo, and then produced and rewritten by Boomdabash. "Mambo salentino" is the second collaboration between Amoroso and Boomdabash after "A tre passi da te" (2015); the group explained the decision to collaborare with the singer: "'We are very excited to return to duet with Alessandra an extremely special person for us, not only a friend but a very talented artist with a rare sensitivity. In fact, our first collaboration dates back to 2015 in 'A tre passi da te' and already then we had established a great feeling. With Salento in our hearts we wanted to work on this new single, which is rooted in the great love we both have for our homeland.'"Amoroso also spoke about the deccision to collaborate again: "'It was all very natural, it was like being with family, I am happy with this collaboration that brings us back home and makes us talk about our land, our roots, our Salento. Like the first time, Boomdabash welcomed me with open arms... and made me lots of coffee! It's a beautiful friendship'"
