The song was also released as a promotional jukebox single, more precisely as a split, where the second side featured a song "Logan Dwight" by Logan Dwight. Mina also chose the song to be performed at the night club La Bussola on 16 September 1972, when the live album Dalla Bussola was recorded.[3] Later a promotional video for Tassoni lemonade for the TV show Carosello was also shot using the composition.[4]
