The protagonist describes Gloria as his queen imagination that comes from his fascination, not from any kind of fantasy. He describes his living days as misery, but when he dreams of Gloria, he says his nights are liberty. In the original lyrics, Tozzi, who takes the role of the song's main character, tells that he is dreaming about an imaginary woman named Gloria. It was also played during the Parade of Nations in the 2019 Summer Universiade Opening Ceremony as Italy, the host nation of the Universiade at the time, entered the stage.
