"Vorrei che fosse amore" (English: "I wish it was love") is a song written by Antonio Amurri and Bruno Canfora. Italian singer Mina recorded it in 1968 as the final theme of the musical TV show Canzonissima.[1] [2] The song was later included on her album Canzonissima '68, and was also released as a single,[3] reaching number 9 on the Italian chart. According to Cash Box magazine, it was ranked 77th on the list of the best-selling singles in Italy between July 1968 and July 1969.[4]
The following year, the song was re-recorded by Mina in French under the title "Si..." and released as a single. To promote this publication, at the end of April 1969, the singer went to Paris, where she performed the song on local television.[5] Mina also recorded an English version called "More Than Strangers", which was released as a single and later included on the album of the same name distributed in the USA.
