"I couldn't wait any longer [...] I felt like sharing with all of you this piece of life, a taste of the new record I've been working on for a while now and in which I'm investing so much courage and so much love."

Reception

Alessandro Alicanti of Panorama wrote that although the introduction "leaves you a bit disoriented" because of the guitar and spoken stanzas, the song "like a landmine explodes into a hypnotic chorus." Alicanti reports that Marrone's voice expresses "the weight of her truth like a boulder" in a song that "is not consoling" but "confronts you with your truth." [8] Oriana Meo of All Music Italia described the refrain of the song "energetic and impactful," with the artist fully expressing the feeling of anger. [9]

Music video

The video, made available on June 19 through the singer's official YouTube channel, was directed by Luigi Antonini and Giuliano Peparini. [10] [11]
