The song topped the Italian Singles charts for 14 weeks, selling over 100,000 copies and being certified platinum.[1] The lyrics recount the real love story the lead singer Sarcina had in his twenties with a girl, Giulia.[1][2]
A music video was shot in continuous take at Naviglio Pavese in Milan, and it stars the band and the actress Angelica Cacciapaglia as Giulia.[3] The music video became viral, and spawned remakes and parodies, including the music videos of Elio e le storie tese's "Shpalman®" and Frankie Hi-NRG MC's "Chiedi chiedi".[4] In 2020, the band released a new version of the song, known as "Dedicato a te – Acqua Version", which was used as theme song of the Canale 5 TV-series Il silenzio dell’acqua.[5][6]
