The song was Zucchero's entry for the 35th edition of the Sanremo Music Festival, where it finished second-to-last. Despite its poor outcome at the festival, it proved to be Zucchero's breakthrough and one of the best known songs in his repertoire.[1][2][3] The popularity of "Donne" was reinforced by its use as theme song in a long-running Knorr commercial campaign.[1]
In 1994, Zucchero recorded a Spanish-language version of the song titled "Chicas", with lyrics by Fito Paez.[3] Artists who covered the song include Fiorello and Neri per Caso.[4]
