The song, written and composed by Elisa herself, is the main track on the album Diari aperti, emphasizing the singer's dual personality of "strong" but also " vulnerable" depending on life circumstances. Excerpts of stanzas from the lyrics appear on the album cover.[2][3]
In the re-release of the album under the title Diari aperti (segreti svelati), the song was performed in collaboration with Brunori Sas.
