The story behind
The song Le cose che vivi, released in September 1996, is presented as a central piece in Laura Pausini's discography. Its musical structure, with a duration of 4 minutes and 31 seconds, falls within the pop rock genre, although it is often associated with the ballads that characterize her repertoire. The original composition is the work of Cheope, G. Carella, Fabrizio Baldoni, and Gino De Stefani, while the production was handled by Laura Pausini, Alfredo Cerruti, and Dado Parisini. This Italian version led to adaptations in other languages, including a Spanish version titled Las cosas que vives and another in Portuguese, Tudo o que eu vivo, which was also included as the B-side of the single.
The visual impact of Le cose che vivi was evident in its music video, conceived with an aesthetic that evoked the narrative of a film, showing fragments of the artist's daily routine. The Spanish version of this video was recognized with a nomination at the 9th Lo Nuestro Awards in the Video of the Year category, competing at that time with Eros Ramazzotti and his song La Aurora. Later, in 2013, the song underwent a new reinterpretation for the compilation album 20 - The Greatest Hits / 20 - Grandes Éxitos, where Laura Pausini collaborated with Brazilian singer Ivete Sangalo, recording duets in Italian-Portuguese and Spanish-Portuguese versions. The song was also part of The Best of Laura Pausini: E ritorno da te, released in 2001.
