"Nino" is a song by American rock band the Linda Lindas. It is the fifth track on the band's debut studio album, Growing Up (2022),[1] released on Epitaph Records. It was written by Bela Salazar, and was produced by Carlos de la Garza. The song is about Salazar's cat named Nino.
Background[edit]
On May 4, 2021, the Linda Lindas played at the Los Angeles Public Library for an AAPI Heritage Month celebration, during which they played "Racist, Sexist Boy".[2] The library soon posted a video of the performance, which became a viral social media hit.[3] They soon signed with Epitaph Records, though they had been planning to sign for months.[4]
Bela Salazar had previously written a song about her cat, Monica, which appeared in the Linda Lindas' eponymous debut (2020).[5] Feeling that Nino "wouldn’t leave her alone until he got a song too",[6] Salazar wrote the song about him.[7]
Composition[edit]
"Nino" was written in the key of E minor,[8] and was recorded at Music Friends, Los Angeles.[9] The song is classified as a punk rock[10][11] and power pop[12] song. It has been compared to the music of Blondie, La Luz,[12] and the Shaggs.[13]
Music video[edit]
The music video was animated by Rob Fidel,[14] and the storyboard was created by Bela Salazar.[5] It features Nino hunting in the desert.[15]
