Background

edit

Miguel, who arrived in Italy when he was almost fifteen, participated in the 1985 Sanremo Music Festival with this song, finishing second in the Campioni category, behind the winners, Ricchi e Poveri, with "Se m'innamoro". Released as a single, it reached the top of the charts on 23 February 1985, and held that position for three weeks, before dropping to second place, preceded by "Una storia importante" by Eros Ramazzotti, for the next four weeks. By the end of the year, it ranked seventh on the list of best-selling singles in Italy.[2]

The song was translated into Spanish as "Los muchachos de hoy", and was part of the soundtrack for the film Fiebre de amor in 1985, in which Luis Miguel also plays a co-starring role.
