Umberto Tozzi released the song as a single in 1978 on the Milan-based record label CGD, and it held the No. 1 spot on the Italian charts in June and July. The title simply translates to \u201eYou,\u201c and that\u2019s exactly what it\u2019s all about: a woman who turns the narrator\u2019s world upside down so much that he wants to change the whole world for her.<\/p>\n<p>A year after \u00abTi amo,\u00bb Tozzi proved that he wasn\u2019t just a one-hit wonder. \u00abTu\u00bb also reached No. 1 in Switzerland and Spain, No. 5 in Austria, and the single was released from Canada to Argentina, and from Portugal to Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"inw-card\" style=\"border: 1px solid #E3E7EC;

At age 16, he played guitar in the Turin band Off Sound; later, he moved to Milan, the capital of the Italian recording industry. There, his most important collaborator became Giancarlo Bigazzi, the Florentine lyricist and producer with whom he had written \u00abTi amo\u00bb in 1977.<\/p>\n<p>Following this success, the duo was under pressure\u2014and they delivered. For \u00abTu,\u00bb Tozzi and Bigazzi once again collaborated on the lyrics and music; the arrangement was written by Franco Monaldi, who also conducted the recording. Bigazzi served as producer, and Tozzi is additionally credited as co-producer on the album cover.<\/p>\n<p>The single, featuring \u00abPerdendo Anna\u00bb on the B-side, was released in the spring of 1978 by CGD, followed shortly thereafter by the album of the same name. In June and July 1978, \u00abTu\u00bb topped the Italian charts and remained on the charts for more than 20 weeks. Internationally, CBS released the song throughout Europe and the Americas. It reached No. 1 in Switzerland and Spain, No. 5 in Austria, and No. 17 in West Germany.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Worum_geht_es_in_%C2%ABTu%C2%BB\"><\/span>What is \u00abTu\u00bb about?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\u00abTu\u00bb is a love song about both desire and doubt. The narrator is captivated by a woman who is unlike any other, and yet he fears she might slip away from him at any moment.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike in \u00abTi amo,\u00bb this song isn\u2019t about guilt and reconciliation, but about the exhilaration of the beginning. The song addresses the woman directly, and the word in the title appears again and again at the beginning of each line. In this way, the smallest pronoun in the Italian language becomes a chorus that sticks in your mind.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Der_Text_Strophe_fur_Strophe\"><\/span>The Lyrics, Verse by Verse<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can find the full lyrics on Spotify and Apple Music; here, we\u2019re focusing on his imagery. The first verses are playful and sensual. The narrator invites the woman over, teases her, asks her age, and tells her about his unusual job. Up close, he finds her more beautiful than ever before, and Bigazzi captures the lightheartedness of the encounter in a single image <em>foam rubber<\/em>, that is, foam rubber.<\/p>\n<p>Then things get more serious. The woman awakens a passion in him that he himself, as a child, <em>follia<\/em> describes it as madness. He wants to travel the world singing and wake up everyone who is still dreaming. For the young woman he sees as sad, he wishes for rain that will make everything bloom, a wind that will die down, and a sky that is bluer than before.<\/p>\n<p>The last stanza veers into doubt. To him, the woman seems as fleeting as a bar of soap slipping from one\u2019s hand. He needs her like the air he breathes and begs her not to <em>miraggio<\/em> to be real, not a mirage. It is precisely this blend of exuberance and insecurity that makes the song more than just a summer hit.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"inw-note\">\n<div class=\"inw-note-label\">GOOD TO KNOW<\/div>\n<p>The song appears twice on the 1978 album *Tu*.

Tozzi himself played guitar and sang; Tore Melillo played second guitar; Guido Guglielminetti played bass; Euro Cristiani played drums; and Roberto Zanaboni played keyboards. Cristiani even wrote his own song for the album, \u00abSogno CB.\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p>Franco Monaldi wrote the arrangement for this ensemble and conducted the recording; sound engineer Antonio Pisanello was at the mixing console. The nine-track album was released under catalog number CGD 20058; the photos for the cover were taken by Mauro Balletti, the photographer best known for his album covers for Mina.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%ABTu%C2%BB_im_Video\"><\/span>\u00abTu\u00bb in the video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At the very top of this post is the original 1978 recording in the official audio version released by Warner Music Italy, which is now releasing Tozzi\u2019s early recordings.
