Sono un grande

After his eighth studio album Il mondo è nostro, Ferro had been going through a period marked by personal and professional ups and downs, including his divorce from his ex-husband Victor Allen and custody of his children.^[1] In August 2025, Ferro announced that he had signed with a new label, Sugar Music, and a new manager, Paola Zukar after the end of his contract with Universal Music Group.^[2] He said of the changes, "Working with a new team gave me the opportunity to look at what I do with new eyes, it was the opportunity to change some aspects of the work and fall in love with the music profession again."^[3]

The project consists of 11 tracks produced by Ferro himself with Marco Sonzini, Alessandro Pulga aka Marz, and Stefano Tognini aka Zef [it], Emilio Barberini aka Madfingerz, Bias, Alessandro De Crescenzo and Will Medini.^[4][5] Physical editions include a 12th track, Ferro's own recording of "Tra le mani un cuore", a song he wrote for Massimo Ranieri with Filippo Neviani aka Nek, Marta Venturini and Giulia Anania [it].^[5][6]

Maybe it's by chance, maybe it's by mistake, or maybe it's because I'm great ... Sono un grande is the fruit of everything that has happened in my life, the awareness that, if I have managed to overcome all the storms, it is because perhaps I have done something good and I deserve a happy future."^[11]
