Song information

In 1984 Amanda Lear signed with WEA Italiana (a label of Warner Music Group) for the release of a single-only song "Assassino". This uptempo dance track was written by Amanda Lear and three Italian composers: Cristiano Malgioglio, Mauro Lusini, and Luigi Lopez. It was recorded in Italian and English, both versions having the same title. The Italian-language version was released on the 7" single, with "Stato d'allarme" as the B-side, another non-album Italian song. "Assassino" in English exists only as the 12" extended mix. The song gained considerable popularity in Europe although it didn't chart.

Music video

The music video was directed by Italian director Mauro Bolognini.[1] It contains scenes with Amanda Lear topless. The English version of the song was used in the video.
