這首歌是青春偶像保羅安卡寫於一九五六年的歌，當時他才十五歲而已。歌曲內容是描述他年少時居住在加拿大渥太華市，情竇初開暗戀鄰居少女Diane Ayoub的複雜情緒，對方當時也才十八歲。我在高中時和同學組了一個合唱團，在學校表演時當中一首就是Diana，另一首是Michael Row the Boat Ashore
“Diana” is a song written and made famous by Paul Anka in 1957. It was inspired by a high school friend named Diana Ayoub. The original Paul Anka 1957 recording reached number one on the Billboard “Best Sellers In Stores” chart (although it climbed no higher than number 2 on Billboard’s composite “Top 100” chart) and has reportedly sold over 9 million copies. “Diana” also hit number one on the R&B Best Sellers list chart.
Recorded in May 1957 at Don Costa studio in New York.
After signing with RCA Records, Paul Anka recorded Diana, along with many other hits in 1963. All these versions were also published in Italian for a special LP. The song has also been covered multiple times; Ricky Martin sang a duet with Anka himself on the album Amigos, while the horror punk band Misfits recorded a version on their album Project 1950. Another duet was in 2006 with Anka and the famous Italian singer and entertainer Adriano Celentano with a new Italian text made by Giulio Rapetti (well-known as Mogol).
