"This is a song, the saddest I've ever written". This is how Tiziano Ferro, the Italian singer-songwriter with over 20 million records sold, predominantly in Europe and South America, and a voting member of the Grammy Award jury, describes, in the chorus, his current single, "Cuore Rotto", which was released on Friday, September 5. The song comes after a difficult period for Ferro, who in 2024 divorced his ex-husband Victor Allen, a California-based consultant he married in Los Angeles in 2019 and with whom he became father to Margherita and Andres in 2022. Tiziano Ferro himself commented on his song, which reveals the complexity of the emotions that accompany the end of a relationship, from despair to anger to the urge to vent one's grief, "I have always told the story of my life through music, both the good times and the difficult ones, always trying to give my songs a positive outlook on the future, even when pain was the main focus". The song's official video depicts a tornado of emotions, with the author alone destroying his villa with a baseball bat. "I wrote 'Cuore Rotto' one day when friends had convinced me to leave Los Angeles to clear my head from everything happening. I went up to my hotel room with the intention of returning downstairs a few minutes later for supper, but the silence of that empty room was broken by what would later become the first version of 'Cuore Rotto'. The lyrics and music came to me all at once, and I had no choice but to cancel all of my plans and stay there to write. I felt as if I would have missed that moment and never been able to find those words again. Back home, I went to the studio with Marco Sonzini (producer ed.) and we worked on the first demo of ‘Cuore Rotto’".
