Background

The song was written by Colapesce and Dimartino immediately after the release of their collaborative album I mortali, in June 2020.[3] Its composition took a long time, since they struggled with finding the words to create a song full of meaning, but still light and simple.[4]

In September 2020, they entered the studio and recorded the first demo of the song, working with producers Federico Nardelli and Giordano Colombo. After the song was chosen as one of the Sanremo Music Festival 2021 entries, they re-worked it with Adele Nigro, who recorded the song's background vocals, and violinst Davide Rossi. Following suggestions by the contest's artistic director Amadeus, the song's structure was also changed, removing an instrumental section.[3]

Music video

The music video for the song was directed by Salvo "Zavvo" Nicolosi.[5]
