GALE Brings The Heat on 80s Pop Single, "Ciao!"

GALE is back and bringing the heat on her latest single, "Ciao!" The Puerto Rican pop powerhouse's whistle-laden hook pulls listeners into her world, where empowerment meets effortless cool, declaring independence, dressed in neon 80s pop energy, and coated with a sensual edge.

The track opens with brooding, retro-inspired synths as GALE delivers confident yet intimate vocals that glide over bouncy production. As the sonics continue to pulse with a flirtatious confidence, she croons lyrics that are equal parts order and invitation, declaring that she's done with half-measures, demanding her love to either deliver passion in full, or goodbye.

"'Ciao!' is about stepping out of the gray area with someone, putting down the ultimatum and saying: either you decide now… or ciao!," shared the singer-songwriter. "Sonically, it's my synth-pop throwback anthem, made to dance, let go, and show off all your weird moves. It's fun and sexy, but also unapologetically direct." And adding about the visuals, "Shooting the video was so much fun… I wanted it to feel irreverent, dramatic, and playful, just like the song. The visualizer was a one-take, which I loved doing, and this time we're doing something different: creating mini music videos to go along with it. I can't wait to share this song with the world!"

The accompanying music video matches the single's vibe beat for beat, matching its flirtatious tone with bold visuals and GALE's charismatic presence center stage. It's stylish without losing its sense of fun, full of movement and attitude, perfectly complementing the song's message of reclaiming power in the most playful way possible.

"Ciao!" arrives on the heels of GALE's breakout European summer tour, where she captivated festival crowds across Boombastic Málaga, Morriña Fest, Pirineos Sur, GranCa Festival, and more. The new track is also the latest in a run of dynamic singles that showcase the evolving sonic universe of GALE's upcoming sophomore album, and will include previous releases like "Sería Cool" and "Por Si Las Dudas," featuring Lagos.
