Song information

Similar to follow-up single; "Gringo", "Yeah Yeah", is also an upbeat dance-pop track, once again written and produced by Sabrina herself and Elvio Moratto. Lyric-wise, the song's concerns are the joys of a nice and healthy environment. "Yeah Yeah" was released as a single twice, the first release in 1990 remaining Italian-only. Three mixes were released in 1990, a 7" mix, a 12" mix and a rather spacey sounding remix (titled Ambient mix), on two formats, a 7" single and a 12" single.

In late 1990/early 1991, the Italian dance-label Discomagic released four remixes of "Yeah Yeah", on both a standard and a picture-disc 12".

The track makes use of the "Yeah! Woo!" sample from "Think (About It)" by Lyn Collins and James Brown.
