"Rosanna" is a hit song by 1980s rock band Toto, the opening track from the 1982 album Toto IV. Rosanna won a "Record of the Year" Grammy Award.
The song is about the actress Rosanna Arquette who dated the Toto keyboard player Steve Porcaro. However, the song was written by David Paich, the leader of Toto. He noticed how supportive Rosanna Arquette was of Porcaro. She often came to the recording studio, bringing the band food.
The B side of the single was the song It's A Feeling, also on the album Toto IV.
