“My Chico” is a vibrant and catchy Italo-disco song by Italian pop star Sabrina Salerno, released in October 1988 as the second single from her second studio album, Super Sabrina. Written by Claudio Cecchetto, Davide Farina, and M. Bonsanto, the track follows Sabrina’s breakout hits like “Boys (Summertime Love)” and continues her trademark style of high-energy dance beats paired with playful lyrics and a sultry delivery.
