"Cuore amaro" is a song by Italian singer Gaia. It was released on 4 March 2021 through Sony Music Italy, as the lead single from her second studio album Alma.[1] [2]

It was released by Sony Music on 4 March 2021. The song was Gaia's entry for the Sanremo Music Festival 2021, the 71st edition of Italy's musical festival which doubles also as a selection of the act for Eurovision Song Contest, where it placed 19th in the grand final.[3] "Cuore amaro" peaked at number 17 on the Italian FIMI Singles Chart and was certified gold in Italy.[4]

Background and composition

"Cuore amaro" was written by Gaia, Jacopo Ettorre, Machweo and Orang3 and produced by Machweo and Simon Says.[5] [6]

The song deals with the singer's love for herself, as described by the artist herself: "For the first time I'm not singing about love, but a song about myself, about my story. The "bitter heart" is mine, it tells a little about my stubbornness in not giving up, in a sincere way. It is also a song that in terms of arrangement, mood and production tells my story and takes you a little bit to South America but in a fresh way, in today's way... in my way of making music".[7] [8]

Critics reception

The song received generally positive reviews by Italian music critics.[9] [10] Carmen Guadalaxara of Il Tempo greeted the artist's song positively, associating it with words such as “exuberant, elegant and effervescent."[11] Rolling Stone Italia appreciated the singer's contemporaneity, stating, “she is a child of her time, traveling smoothly between musical styles and geographies,”[12] a sentiment confirmed by Silvia Danielli of Billboard Italia, who described the singer's project as “particularly pleasant and enveloping.”[13]

Music video

The music video for the song was released on YouTube on 4 March 2021, to accompany the single's release. It was directed by Enea Colombi.[14]
