Dimmi Come
Encyclopedia
"Dimmi Come" was the first single released by the Italian singer Alexia from her fifth studio album Alexia
.
It was her first official release in Italian but would be re-recorded in English for an international market entitled "Don't You Know". The song came second at the Sanremo festival in 2002 and was the last of her singles to have remixes commissioned as she moved away from dance music.

"Dimmi Come" spent twelve weeks within the Italian Top 20, her biggest hit in her home country for some time. This was helped by the song being a hit in the Sanremo Festival.

The P2P Dommu Remix featured on the tracklisting, albeit with the English vocals instead and the track "Hasta La Vista Baby" was the B side, despite it being sang in Italiin it's English form. As Alexia had begun recording in Italian, this would be the last of her singles to get a release outside of Italy. Also due to the shift in Alexia's career to radio release singles, this would be the last of her songs to have remixes commissioned.
