The song was written by producer Roberto Tini and Sonohra members Diego Fainello and Luca Fainello.^[7] The duo revealed that "L'amore" was inspired by an English girl they met while playing in pubs, before they rose to fame with their music. Luca fell in love with her at first sight, but the girl had to come back to England after one day only.^[8] Therefore, the song's lyrics "describe a lovestory, which is impossible due to the distance between two people who don't know anything about each other, and live too far to manage to deepen their connection".^[8]

The music video for the song was filmed on the Cliffs of Moher, in Ireland, by director Antonella Schioppa. During an interview, the band claimed they felt the Irish landscape was a good choice to describe the personal experience the song is based on.^[9]
