The song, which features American recording artist Ben Harper playing bass, was released as the album's lead single in December 2007.

Commercial performance
Immediately after its release, the song entered the Italian FIMI Top Digital Downloads chart, debuting at number 4 during the 50th week of 2007. During the second week, the song reached its peak at number three. However, until January 2008, FIMI considered the physical singles chart as the official one in Italy, and "Fango" was released as a digital download only. Starting from January 2008, when the Top Digital Download became the primary singles chart in Italy, the song spent thirteen additional weeks on the chart's top 20, reaching number 4 in the week of 17 January 2008. According to 'Musica e Dischi', the single sold 55,000 digital copies in Italy in 2008.
"Fango" also became a radio hit, topping the Music Control chart, compiled by Nielsen and ranking the most aired songs in Italian radio stations.
