"Questa Notte" (English translation: "Tonight") was the Latvian entry to the Eurovision Song Contest 2007, sung in Italian by Bonaparti.lv.The song was originally written with English lyrics as "Tonight" by Swedish musician Kjell Jennstig with the demo being recorded by Sandra Oldenstam: after its initial submission for Melodifestivalen 2007 consideration was unsuccessful Jennstig shopped the demo for consideration in Eirodziesma 2007, the Latvian preselection round for Eurovision, and on December 11, 2006 "Tonight" was announced as one of twenty songs in contention to become the Latvian entry in Eurovision 2007.For its performance by a local artist - a requirement for all songs in contention to become the Latvian Eurovision entrant - it was decided to take the song in a different vocal direction than the female vocal on its demo: Platforma Records (lv) assembled a sextet of classical-style male vocalists who were dubbed Bonaparti.lv, with Jennstig's original song being customized for an operatic act by having its lyrics rendered in Italian - by Francesca Russo and Torbjörn Wassenius - and a consequent re-entitling as "Questa Notte".
