歌曲的創作若隱含了現實的娛樂「八卦」，應該更容易受到矚目，這首《Rosanna》應該就有達到了這樣的效果。話說美國搖滾樂團Toto於1982發行這首歌時，該樂團的鍵盤手Steve Porcaro正在和美國女演員Rosanna Arquette交往，眾所周知，歌曲中的Rosanna當然指的是Rosanna Arquette ( 甚至樂團其他成員及Rosanna Arquette自己也都如此認為。) 。不過，寫歌的Toto團員David Paich在後來接受訪談時透露，其實這首歌說的是在高中時期的一些戀愛感受，女主角也不只是一位，Rosanna這個名字的靈感的確是來自Rosanna Arquette，但只是借用而已。

此曲於1982拿下了美國告示牌排行榜的第2名，也在1983贏得了一座「年度最佳唱片」的葛萊美獎，也是Toto樂團最為知名的歌曲之一。

歌曲發行後不久，Steve Porcaro和Rosanna Arquette卻分手了。之後Rosanna Arquette的情史不斷，在2007還和前披頭合唱團的貝士手Paul McCartney有過短暫的交往。

在以下所貼的音樂影帶中，飾演Rosanna的舞者為Cynthia Rhodes，此也使得她隨後參與了約翰屈服塔 ( John Travolta ) 1983的電影《Staying Alive》( 台譯：龍飛鳳舞 ) 的演出。
