The song was Raf's entry at the 39th edition of the Sanremo Music Festival, where it ranked only fifteenth.[1] In spite of the Festival's tepid response, the song became a signature song of Raf and a generational anthem.[1]
Raf recorded the song in Spanish as "Qué quedará de los '80".[1] In 1995, Mina covered the song in her album Pappa di latte in an English-language adaptation, "When You Let Me Go".[1] The song was included in the soundtrack of the films Volevo i pantaloni by Maurizio Ponzi and Notte prima degli esami by Fausto Brizzi.[1]
