"Children of the stars") is a 1977 song written and performed by Alan Sorrenti.

[1] It marked a turning point in Sorrenti's career, who had previously released critically acclaimed but commercially disappointing progressive and experimental rock albums characterized by hermetic and metaphor-rich lyrics.

[1][2] With this song and the eponymous album he embraced pop and disco music as well as romantic and simply constructed lyrics, and while he had a massive commercial success he also faced harsh reviews from critics.

[1][2] Artists who covered the song include Gianni Morandi, Claudio Baglioni, Irene Grandi and Mario Venuti.
