It was first introduced to the public on March 31 of the same year during the broadcast of the documentary Mina in Studio.{{cite web|url=https://www.repubblica.it/spettacoli/musica/2023/06/08/news/spunta_il_video_di_mina_con_oggi_sono_io_di_alex_britti-403561313/|title=Spunta il video di Mina con 'Oggi sono io' di Alex Britti|last=Moretti|first=Carlo|date=8 June 2023|website=La Repubblica|access-date=2 July 2024|language=it}} According to Paolo Limiti, it was recorded in one take. The singer herself later confirmed this, also stating that she immediately liked the song as soon as she heard it, deciding to record a cover, but in a "heavier" manner.{{cite web|url=https://www.minamazzini.it//it/vanity_fair/459/|title=Speciale Vanity C'È Mina Per Voi del 10 ottobre 2012 , Una canzone in un giorno – Vanity Fair n. 41/2012|author=Mina|date=17 October 2012|website=Vanity Fair|publisher=minamazzini.it|access-date=2 July 2024|language=it|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221002075539/https://www.minamazzini.it//it/vanity_fair/459/|archive-date=2 October 2022}}{{cite web|url=https://www.vanityfair.it/music/storie-music/2020/02/28/mina-80-anni-auguri-aneddoti-alex-britti-intervista-oggi-sono-io-foto|title=Alex Britti: «Mina, una straordinaria mattacchiona»|last=Saltalamacchia|first=Stefania|date=28 February 2020|website=Vanity Fair|access-date=2 July 2024|language=it}}
