Furore is a single by dance pop duo italian Paola & Chiara, published on 9th February 2023 as the lead single from their third Greatest Hits Per sempre.

The song has been presented during the second evening of the Sanremo Festival 2023, where it gained the seventeenth position.

Content
The record, written by the Iezzi's sisters with the collaboration of Jacopo Ettorre and Alessandro La Cava, has been produced by Merk & Kremont and it gave the duo the opportunity to come back in the music industry after a 10 year dissolution.

The song, that reproduces the sound of the pop from the late 90s e inizio anni 2000, has been described by the duo in a interview for the magazine Rockol: "Furore represents a little bit our reunion too, because it's a word so euphoric, strong, it may evoke so many things: the fun, the desire to stay together, the urge to live a feeling that it can't last forever. It's like a little carpe diem that song."

During a radio interview for the broadcaster RDS the duo anticipated the possibility that both a swedish and a spanish version of the song (already recorded) could be published in the future.

Critical reception
Gianni Sibilla from Rockol associated the record with the duo's previous hits Vamos a bailar (Esta vida nueva) and Festival. Rolling Stone Italia assigned the song with a score of 8 out of 10, stating that «in the Festival where so many staged their suffering as in a big sang Instagram, they made everybody dancing with fun and lightness».

Fabio Fiume di All Music Italia assigned a score of 7 out of 10, remarking that «it sounds like a production by Pet Shop Boys from the late 90s and, like them, it works so well». Francesco Prisco from Il Sole 24 Ore gives the record a score of 4, asserting that «if we were in the 90s this record could have been on the podium at the Festival [...]. But the 90s are over since 24 years». Mattia Marzi also associates the record to the 90s, but he appreciated the production and he gave un voto di 6 out of 10.

Music Video
The music video of the record, directed by Paolo Santambrogio and with the artistic direction by Luca Tommassini, has been published on 9th February 2023 on Paola & Chiara's official YouTube channel. The music video, shot in the nightclub Superclub Milano, is guesting the actress Simona Tabasco.
