Alternative covers

It remains as one of the most enduring of Pausini's hits. It also helped to promote the album with the other hit-single "Un'emergenza d'amore". All of the three versions were released as singles, although only the Spanish and Italian ones had videoclips recorded.

Both Spanish and Italian versions were included in Pausini's greatest hits album, E ritorno da te.

Before it was released as a single, the song became famous in Brazil, where it was used as part of the soundtrack to the telenovela Pecado Capital. Later, Pausini released a special version of the single just in that country (see below).

It is widely regarded as one of the most passionate pieces of music in the world.
