Release
For the Italian release, Moroder addressed Gianna Nannini and Edoardo Bennato, who rewrote the lyrics and took the song to the top of the charts in Italy and Switzerland. From January to September 1990, the song was the best-selling single in Italy. The song was presented for the first time by the two singer-songwriters in Milan in December 1989, and performed live during the opening ceremony, held on 8 June 1990, in Milan, before the Argentina–Cameroon opening match, followed later also by the English version. It describes the desire to win, and score a goal.
The song was among the first to contain a single instrumental version (indicated as a karaoke version) and to be published as a maxi single.
English version
The English version, released under the name "To Be Number One", and performed by Giorgio Moroder Project (Singers: Joe Milner, Moll Anderson, Paula Mulcahy Keane)[1] was the opening theme to RAI TV programmes and matches related to the 1990 FIFA World Cup.

[es] Un'estate italiana
«Un'estate italiana» (en español: «Un verano italiano») es una canción compuesta por el músico italiano Giorgio Moroder y el letrista estadounidense Tom Whitlock, al efecto de servir como Canción oficial de la Copa Mundial de la FIFA de 1990. Escrita originalmente en inglés bajo el título de To Be Number One (Para ser número uno), la versión italiana,[1] escrita por Gianna Nannini y Edoardo Bennato, y conocida también como Notti magiche (Noches mágicas), fue interpretada por ambos en el Sorteo del Mundial y en la Ceremonia Inaugural del mismo.[2] Esta última versión terminó siendo más exitosa que la original, alcanzando el estatus de canción de culto en Argentina, incluso fue exitosa en los países de habla inglesa[cita requerida], donde se ha utilizado tanto en las coberturas televisivas y radiales sobre las diferentes ediciones de la copa del mundo, como en publicidades alusivas al respecto.[3] También diversas encuestas de diferentes medios deportivos y musicales del mundo, la han considerado la mejor canción de la historia de los mundiales, por la emoción que transmiten tanto su letra como su música.[4][5][6]
