Draft:Nino (The Linda Lindas song)
| Submission declined on 3 April 2024 by Mach61 (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Growing Up (The Linda Lindas album). Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.

Comment: The articles specifically about the song are all short and have similar content, and as one of them (NME) explicitly mentioned a press release it is safe to conclude that the content of all of them are not independent of each other and don't show notability Mach61 05:35, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

"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, 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]
