After recording a demo, Martini was not satisfied with the result and asked Bruno Lauzi to rewrite the lyrics, with Lauzi retaining only a few lines, including the "sola" in the refrain.The song turned to be both a commercial and critical success, and won the. Martini recorded the song in Spanish as "Mujer sola", as well as two versions in French and German that have remained unreleased.
