"Someone Else's Eyes" is a vocal duet between Lear and Enrico Petrelli, better known under his stage name Deadstar, who has also written and produced the track.
It is a mid-tempo pop song with jazz elements, arranged by Nerio Poggi, including a saxophone solo by Fabio Tullio.
Amanda Lear and Deadstar met in summer 2008 – their first meeting took place in a café in the 16th arrondissement of Paris[1] where they both live.
[2] The track was then previewed at Midem in 2009 to positive reaction and subsequently chosen as the lead single from Lear's album Brief Encounters.
[3] The song was then remixed by Boy George and Kinky Roland, and released as a maxi single on 24 May 2010 to promote the reissue Brief Encounters Reloaded.
