"Sono come tu mi vuoi" (English: "I Am What You Want Me to Be") is a 1966 song by Italian singer Mina
The song was written by Bruno Canfora, Antonio Amurri and Maurizio Jurgens. In 1966, it was recorded and released as a single by Italian singer Mina. This is one of the last singles recorded by Mina for the Ri-Fi label, and never appeared on studio albums, but only on compilations released after the singer's move to the PDU label. The reason for the release of the song was Mina's participation in the first season of the radio program Gran varietà , and "Sono come tu mi vuoi" was also the main theme for it. [2]
Released as a single, the song managed to reach number four on the Italian chart, spending a total of ten weeks on it. [3]
The music reference book Dizionario della Canzone Italiana stated that Mina does not risk falling into interpretative mannerism even when it comes to singing yet another theme song, indeed, thanks to the quality of the musical material provided to her and her extraordinary singing skills, pieces like this have become classics of pop music.
