Background and release
On July 21, it was announced that Eros Ramazzotti had left Sony Music and signed a recording contract with Universal Music Group. A few days later, Ramazzotti's manager Giancarlo Giannini, announced that he had planned to start working on new material between September and October 2011, in order to release a new album in November 2012. However, in January 2012, Ramazzotti split with his manager, replacing him with Michele Torpedine. In August 2012, it was announced that the new album would be released on 13 November 2012, while the album title was revealed on September 4, 2012.
Of the song, Ramazzotti commented: "Nicole and I must have met in a previous life. I truly enjoy working with her. It's a great experience. I've recorded many duets in my career : Tina Turner, Cher, and now Nicole. I'd say my voice matches well with the Italian language singing of these talented singers."
Music video
