The single Sarà perché ti amo became such a hit in Europe that a crossover version for Latin American countries was recorded with Spanish lyrics. The song, now titled Será porque te amo, also became a huge hit in Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America. Many groups started covering the song adapting it to different genres, including tropical, dance, and various forms of Mexican folk music known as Grupera. The Latin boy band project Menudo (featuring Ricky Martin) and the Italo-Dance band Eu4ya also covered the song, but the lyrics were heavily altered: only the chorus line was kept in one verse and the rest was rearranged to make the song more appealing to teenagers. The group was formed in 1967 by Franco Gatti (born 1942 in Genova), Angela Brambati (born 1947 in Genova), Angelo Sotgiu (born 1946 in Trinità d'Agultu e Vignola) and Marina Occhiena (born 1950 in Genova). Their first public appearance was in Cantagiro 1968 with “L'ultimo amore"
