Singles
editThe album's lead single was "Senza scappare mai più", released on 17 October 2014. It peaked at No. 2 on the Italian Singles Chart.[2] Italian media pointed out that the song was not gender-neutral, and was therefore the first song by a popular Italian artist that was explicitly about love between two men.[3]
The second single "Incanto" was released on 16 January 2015. Ferro described it as "extremely different" from his previous work due to its folk sound.[4] He wrote it together with Emanuele Dabbono.[5]
