It was released by Sony Music on 4 March 2021. The song was Gaia's entry for the Sanremo Music Festival 2021, the 71st edition of Italy's musical festival which doubles also as a selection of the act for Eurovision Song Contest, where it placed 19th in the grand final.[3] "Cuore amaro" peaked at number 17 on the Italian FIMI Singles Chart and was certified gold in Italy.[4]
The song deals with the singer's love for herself, as described by the artist herself: "For the first time I'm not singing about love, but a song about myself, about my story. The "bitter heart" is mine, it tells a little about my stubbornness in not giving up, in a sincere way. It is also a song that in terms of arrangement, mood and production tells my story and takes you a little bit to South America but in a fresh way, in today's way... in my way of making music".[5]
The music video for the song was released on YouTube on 4 March 2021, to accompany the single's release. It was directed by Enea Colombi.[6]
On 1 May 2021 Gaia performed the song during the annual Concerto del Primo Maggio.[7]
