E non mi dire che ho bevuto

The song *E non mi dire che ho bevuto* has a duration of 4 minutes and 25 seconds. It is part of Nek's fourth studio album, titled Lei, gli amici e tutto il resto, released in 1996 by Warner Music Italy. This album marked an important moment in Nek's career, as it signified his move to a larger record label and was the first to feature a version specifically for the Spanish-speaking market.

For the creation of Lei, gli amici e tutto il resto, Nek worked with a renewed team, including a new producer and a group of musicians with whom he would collaborate for the next five years. The composition of the tracks was handled by Nek along with Massimo Varini, who also took care of the arrangements and co-produced the album with David Sabiu. The singer-songwriter described this period as "the album of my second life," highlighting the creative freedom he had and the opportunity to explore a new sound.

Filippo Neviani, known artistically as Nek, was born in Sassuolo in 1972. His beginnings in music date back to the late 1980s, when he was part of the group White Lady. His solo career began in 1992 with his self-titled debut album, from which the single *Amami* was released. A year later, he participated in the Sanremo Music Festival with the song *In te*, which addressed the issue of abortion and was inspired by a personal experience. In that same edition of the festival, Mietta performed *Figli di chi*, a composition by Nek. His participation in Cantagiro earned him recognition as the most popular artist, awarded by TV Stelle magazine. In 1994, he received an award for best young Italian singer, shared with Giorgia Trovato, and released his third album, Calore Umano, with the collaboration of Italian musicians, this being his last work with the Fonit Cetra record label. In 1997, he returned to Sanremo, where he presented *Laura non c'è*.
