After the success of his previous-year's album Soli, Celentano decided not to change a winning team. All the songs on Un po' artista un po' no are composed by Toto Cutugno, with lyrics by Cristiano Minellono.[2]
The song "L'italiano" could have been included on this Celentano's album. Cutugno offered him the song.[2]
The album's cover features a photo of Celentano with young Pamela Prati.[2]
