Composition
The song, written and composed by Ermal Meta himself, featuring the vocals of singer Elisa.[2] Meta shared his decision to collaborate with the singer during the press conference at the Sanremo Music Festival:[3]
"I've been a huge fan of Elisa since her album Pipes & Flowers. In 2016 I was lucky enough to open some of her concerts for her album On. I proposed her to collaborate and I played her this song: Elisa loved it and agreed to sing it with me. This makes me proud and proud."
Elisa also spoke about the collaboration, declaring: "thanks to you Ermal Meta, who was able to tell the voice of a woman's heart. A woman who unfortunately many times has lived and lives in all of us. And then long live all men with a capital "m". Those who use their strength to do good. Those like you."[4]
Critics reception
Fabio Fiume of All Music Italia described the song as "a ballad" in which the two artists "play between vocals and together sing and reinforce a concept that we should all make our own, namely that "nothing is more fragile than a promise and I won't even make you one" perhaps we would avoid giving others disappointments, even unintentional ones".[5] Mattia Marzi of Rockol observed that musically it presents "acoustic and sparse sounds" set to a "ternary rhythm", giving an overall "emotional" duet.[6]
Music video
The music video for the song was released on November 10, 2017, through Ermal Meta's YouTube channel. I was filmed in Priverno, Italy.[7]
