Mezzo rotto

"Mezzo rotto" is a song recorded by Italian singers Alessandra Amoroso and BigMama. It was released on 31 May 2024 through Epic Records.

Background and composition
The song is written by Zef, Davide Petrella and the singer BigMama, with dance-pop music sounds. In an interview with Cosmopolitan Italia Amoroso told that the idea of collaborate on a song with BigMama came after the two artists' performance during the charity event Una.Nessuna.Centomila at the Verona Arena in early May 2024; in the same interview BigMama explained the meaning of the song and the writing process: "'For me writing is the most beautiful thing of all, maybe just after performing live, but I don't know how to write love pieces, at least I thought that was a big limitation for me because love doesn't inspire me at all. I didn't know what to write so I got on the bed with Ludovica [the singer fiancée] and in total panic she was saying 'think of something sad, make up that we broke up!'. and I was replying, 'But I only know how to write real things, not make them up!' Then I thought of when we are far apart, her in Carrara, me in my home, 'That sea you look at, me listening to pieces to remember you.' Again I only told the truth.'"

Critics reception
Vincenzo Nasto of Fanpage.it stated that the song features "clear dance sounds" whose lyrics "indulge in the details of the summer passion experienced by the two women."

Music video
The music video for the song, directed by Byron Rosero, was released on JUne 11, 2024, through Amoroso's YouTube channel.
