Composition

The track, written by Davide Petrella and produced by Dardust,^[2] describes a new positive transition in the singer's life following the COVID-19 pandemic.^[3] The lyrics are related to the previous single "Piuma", which describes the dark side of the lockdown.^[4] In an interview with Vanity Fair Italia singer described the meaning of the song:^[5]

"I love light, but I have learned that there is also darkness. I live with music, but I also listen to silence. I have learned not to fight sadness, darkness and fears, but to accept them and go through them. This awareness [sung in the single "Piuma"] leads to "Sorriso grande", a sunny, open song charged with a newfound energy that represents rebirth, the rediscovery of self in a new light, the image of a strong woman who knows who she is and what she wants and has found the courage to be herself."

Music video

The music video was directed by YouNuts! and choreographed by Veronica Peparini, and featured actress Matilde Gioli.^[6] The video was shot in the same setting as "Piuma", an apartment that, if in the previous single appeared gray and claustrophobic, in "Sorriso grande" is colorful and gives space to the outdoors.^[7][8]
