Sorrento Moon (I Remember)


"Sorrento Moon " is a song written by Tina Arena, David Tyson and Christopher Ward for Arena's second album Don't Ask. The song is about Arena's childhood memories of summers past with her family at Sorrento in Victoria, Australia. The video was partly shot at Sorrento back-beach. It was produced by Tyson and released as the album's second single in Australia on 16 January 1995.
The song is lyrically referred to in Client Liaison's 2017 single "A Foreign Affair", featuring Arena.

Critical reception

People Magazine noted the "samba flavor" of the song. The Guardian described it as "delicate". AllMusic editor Kelvin Hayes called it "gorgeous" in his review of Don't Ask, and added that the song "suggests Arena may yet become the Astrud Gilberto of Australia."
