[7] On December 12, 2016 Sanremo Music Festival art director and host Carlo Conti announced the participation of the singer at the competition with the song "Vietato morire".

[10] Fabio Fiume of All Music Italia described Vietato morire as "a complete record" through which the artist has "a world to tell, [...] with the ability to know how to do it," while the songs "tackle pop music with mastery, keeping boredom and yawns at arm's length and armed" in which the singer's "vocal openings" surprise.

"[11] Mattia Marzi of Rockol wrote that "the songs are all related to the San Remo piece," through the tale of "life that should be preserved, not endangered."
