- This is how different (or not) the Benidorm Fest 2026 ranking would have been, according to YouTube and Spotify views
Rock roars again in the Benidorm Fest 2026 with KITAI and its proposal love scares you. The Madrid band, now led by vocalist Kenya Saiz, along with Deivhook, Edu Venturo and Fabio Yanes, bursts into the competition with a visceral, energetic and deeply emotional song, which combines its rock essence with a more accessible sound for the general public.
The song, conceived specifically for their jump to the festival, reflects the group's new stage after their recent restart and promises a performance full of intensity on the stage of the Palau d'Esports l'Illa de Benidorm.
Meaning of the song 'Love scares you'
love scares you delves into a feeling as universal as it is contemporary: the fear of emotional commitment. The lyrics explore situations in which there is an authentic connection between two people, a sincere and mutual attraction, but one of them does not dare to take the decisive step for fear of becoming more involved than they think they can manage. This clash between desire and inner blockage is the axis of the theme.

According to the band, the song reflects those relationships that “do not come to be” because someone stops before fully opening up, even when the feelings are there. KITAI describes this message as something very close, honest and born from real experiences, showing a more vulnerable side within rock. This approach also represents a turn in the usual discourse of the genre for the group, which here opts for openly talking about emotional fear as part of the master.
Lyrics to 'Love scares you' by Kitai
(Verse)
I want to drink your saliva without mixing it with rum
I want to enter your life without it being through the balcony
May you introduce me to your parents, my love
I want to smell every ounce of you in my lungs
You give me dopamine and a lot of pain
I go to you if I'm cold and you if you're hot
You are more expensive than I can ask for
I know you like me, you won't admit it
Inside the silence, in the eye of the hurricane
I'm still waiting for my chance
To go up to the sky for you
And then you let me fall
(Chorus)
Because love makes you afraid, afraid
And I'm crazy for you
I'm going blindly
I'm not going to give up
I've been playing your game for a while
But I don't get tired of you anymore
Love makes you afraid, afraid
(Verse 2)
Say it, we are nothing and it's just fun
That you and I are just friends
But we both know that when we put on our clothes
I'm still in your mouth
And I sew your heart, you melted
And I'm breathless
(Chorus)
Because love makes you afraid, afraid
And I'm crazy for you
I'm going blindly
I'm not going to give up
I've been playing your game for a while
But I don't get tired of you anymore
Love makes you afraid, afraid
And I'm crazy for you
I'm going blindly
I'm not going to give up
I've been playing your game for a while
(Bridge)
I'm not gonna give up
Not gonna give up
No, no, no
Not gonna give up
Not gonna give up
No, no, no
Not gonna give up
Not gonna give up
No, no, no
(Chorus)
Because love makes you afraid, afraid
And I'm crazy for you
I'm going blindly
I'm not going to give up
I've been playing your game for a while
But I don't get tired of you anymore
Love makes you afraid, afraid
