Background and composition

[edit]

The lyrics of the song are written by Negramaro's frontman Giuliano Sangiorgi, while the music is by Elisa, becoming the third song in which the two artists collaborate artistically after "Ti vorrei sollevare" (2009) and "Basta così" (2011).[5] In an interview between the two artists for La Repubblica, Elisa said that Sangiorgi had heard some of the album's tracks during the Italia Loves Emilia benefit concert.[6]

Music video

[edit]

The music video was directed by Giovanni Veronesi, who had already directed the video for Elisa for "Eppure sentire (Un senso di te)", and features the participation of actor Elio Germano.[7][8] Elisa explained the aesthetics of the video: "Giovanni Veronesi ironically refers to it as a white-only video because it is very ethereal and based on the idea of a surreal space where brushstrokes of gray, writing a few minimal things, contrast with my figure and that of Elio Germano".[9]
