Background

The song deals with the singer's love for herself, as described by the artist herself: "For the first time I'm not singing about love, but a song about myself, about my story. The "bitter heart" is mine, it tells a little about my stubbornness in not giving up, in a sincere way. It is also a song that in terms of arrangement, mood and production tells my story and takes you a little bit to South America but in a fresh way, in today's way... in my way of making music".[5]

Music video

The music video for the song was released on YouTube on 4 March 2021, to accompany the single's release. It was directed by Enea Colombi.[6]

On 1 May 2021 Gaia performed the song during the annual Concerto del Primo Maggio.[7]
