Stella stai

"Stella stai" (lit. 'Star, stay') is a 1980 song composed by Umberto Tozzi  and Giancarlo Bigazzi and performed by Umberto Tozzi.

Background
The song is the leading single of the 1980 album Tozzi. It is characterised by the frenetic series of on-beat cadences and by the use of truncated rhymes. Its style has been described as heavily influenced by disco, with strong rock overtones. Its ambiguous lyrics have been described as a "linguistic delirium" and have been variously interpreted.

The song has been included in the soundtrack of several films, notably Spider-Man: Far From Home and The Guest Room.

Other versions
The boy band Menudo and later Luis Fonsi covered the song in Spanish-language, with the title "Claridad" and with lyrics adapted by Óscar Gómez Díaz. Thelma Houston recorded an English-language version of the song with the title "Shining Star". The song was also covered in Czech by Michal David with the title "Třetí Galaxie".

In 2019-20 Mina performed the song for a series of TIM commercials.
