That's Amore is a 1953 pop song written by Harry Warren and Jack Brooks, made famous by Dean Martin. It was first recorded and released in 1953 and appears on the album Dean Martin Sings; the single was issued by Capitol Records on November 7, 1953 after a recording on August 13 at Capitol Studios in Hollywood. The tune became a major hit, peaking at number 2 on the Billboard charts, and is widely regarded as Dean Martin's signature song. The song originated for the Martin and Lewis film The Caddy, where Lewis helped develop it; it was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song but lost to Secret Love. Amore means love in Italian, and the song has appeared in many films such as Rear Window, Moonstruck, Grumpier Old Men, Stuart Little, and Enchanted, helping define a lasting image of Italian American romance.
