"Santa Maria" is a song originally released in 1995 by Tatjana.[1] The song was covered by DJ Milano and British singer Samantha Fox in 1997.

Samantha Fox version

After Fox's five-year contract with Jive Records expired, the singer went to Ibiza, where she met DJ Milano.[2] The song was written by Kirsti Johansen and Kjetil Røsnes (of Avalanche)[3] with Mike Stock and Matt Aitken, the two members of Stock Aitken Waterman production trio. The song was originally recorded by Dutch artist Tatjana for the European market, but for the UK/US market Samantha Fox covered the song, although Tatjana's version was issued in the US on Popular Records as a CD maxi single.

"Santa Maria" became a notable hit around Europe. It was released as a single-only song and was later included in Samantha's Watching You, Watching Me album track listing. It also appeared on 2009 Greatest Hits compilation. The music video was directed by Ben Hume-Paton.[4]
