The song received wide airplay for several months by Italian radios, reaching the top of the charts;[1] however, it was never officially released as a single in Italy.

Towards the end of the video, Tiziano raises a candle to commemorate American singer Aaliyah, who had passed away just a few months before the song was released.

Tiziano also pays homage to her by wearing a dark-coloured T-shirt with Aaliyah's name printed in white.

A rearranged swing version of the song was included in Tiziano's 2011 album L'amore è una cosa semplice.

The song was also translated into Spanish, with the title La olimpiada.
