"Questa notte" was the first Eurovision entrant with Italian lyrics representing a nation which does not rank Italian as an official language, with the majority of other Italian-language Eurovision entries having been submitted by Italy, San Marino, or Switzerland. The second came eleven years later, when Elina Nechayeva performed "La forza" for fellow Baltic nation Estonia in 2018. Additionally, there have been three Eurovision entrants with partially Italian lyrics representing non-Italian speaking nations: specifically "Nomiza", sung in Greek and Italian by Voice for Cyprus in 2000, "Tornerò", sung in Italian and English by Mihai Trăistariu in 2006, and "Pe-o margine de lume", sung in Italian and Romanian by Nico and Vlad Miriţă in 2008. "Questa Notte" is also notable as one of three Latvian entries at Eurovision not sung in English, the other two being "Dziesma par laimi" (2004) and "Probka" (2009), respectively by Fomins and Kleins and Intars Busulis. Of the three only "Questa Notte" qualified for performance in its competing year's Eurovision final.
