The heart-wrenching ballad incorporates a sample from the 1968 film “La Leçon Particulière”.
It was written by Amy Wadge, Francis Lai, Matteo Bocelli, and Zak Lloyd. Produced by Martin Terefe.
Matteo Bocelli told PEOPLE about the song, “It's a beautiful song to me. We wrote it with Amy Wadge. She's an incredible songwriter. You may recognize a section on the song [from Michel Boisrond’s 1968 film La Leçon Particulière]. Basically we developed a song around this sample.”
He added, “We chose Martin Terefe as the main producer of the album because to us, he felt like the right person for the way I wanted to shape my songs. When producing a record, I want them to get to know me and my everyday life, where I come from, my roots.” -
