The album consists of twelve tracks, written by Annalisa herself with several authors and producers, including Davide Simonetta, Alessandro Raina, Paolo Antonacci, Zef, Room9, Placido Salamone, and Raffaele Esposito.

"The singer explicated the meaning of the album's title, defined as "metaphorical" about the different phases of life identified in the "vortex",[7][8] in which "enthusiasm is represented, there are disappointments, things that change, twists and turns, an ending.

[19] On February 7, 2024 "Sinceramente" was published as the lead single for the re-issued of the album after her participation at the 74th Sanremo Music Festival with the song.

[20][21] In June 2023, Annalisa announced the title of the album as E poi siamo finiti nel vortice, with a release date set for autumn 2023.

[23] Alongside her appearance at the Sanremo Music Festival in February 2023, Annalisa announced her first concert at Mediolanum Forum in Milan, which took place on 4 November 2023.

In the review, the album is described as "true and believable", as it "speaks the language of these times, in every respect", with the tracks' goal of "making the listener's days less bitter.

Among the tracks, he says "Stelle" is the best song "from the point of view of the balance between lyrics and music", and "Indaco violento" is "the symbolic piece of the project".

[2] For the same site, Mattia Marzi wrote that the singer in the project appears "sexy, unprejudiced and ironic as never before" but without "pulling a new Beyoncé", as she sings in the tracks "with a fresh, pop, empathetic and even funny manner".

[6] Ondarock's writer Claudio Fabretti called E poi siamo finiti nel vortice "a perfectly contemporary record", in which the singer enacts an "irreversible transformation" toward an "electropop turn", and that "[19]80s electronica" goes well with "the shadowy, restless mezzo-soprano".

On the album he found that "bolder lyrical flutters" alternated with "teenage TikTok withdrawal slips", calling the latter choice an attempted "update to the two-thousand of the old italo disco", although it "does not always appear able to fill it with content up to the mark".
