Dimmi Come
"Dimmi Come" was the first single released by the Italian singer Alexia from her fifth studio album Alexia.
It was her first official release in Italian but would be re-recorded in English for an international market entitled "Don't You Know". The song came second at the Sanremo festival in 2002 and was the last of her singles to have remixes commissioned as she moved away from dance music.
The song is about her anger and frustration at being disrespected by her lover who comes into and out of her life. In contrast, the English version on the album is about partying, dancing and loving someone on a Friday night.
Music video
Music videos were filmed for both "Dimmi Come", and "Don't You Know".
Release
The song was initially released in Italy on CD (Sony Code 672332) with an instrumental version as the B side, with a remix release coming out later (Sony Code 672682). The song was recorded in English as "Don't You Know", a bonus track on Alexia's fifth studio album.
"Dimmi Come" spent twelve weeks within the Italian Top 20, her biggest hit in her home country for some time. This was helped by the song being a hit in the Sanremo Festival.
