"Amore scusami" is a 1964 song composed by Gino Mescoli and Vito Pallavicini. The song premiered at the Un disco per l'estate music festival with a performance of John Foster, and then got an immediate commercial success, peaking at third place on the Italian hit parade and remaining in the top ten for five months.[1]
The song portrays the crisis of a sentimental relationship, and it is regarded as an innovation for the Italian music of the time for its realistic lyrics and for the absence of pathetic and pitiful tones.[1]
