"Down Down Down" is a song by Lollipop, a girl group formed during the first series of Italian talent-show Popstars. The song, written in English by Sabrina Pistone, was arranged and produced by the latter with Roberto Nardiello.
The single debuted in stores on March 30, 2001, and in the aftermath of the end of Popstars broadcast entered the top-selling singles chart in Italy directly at No. 1. "Down Down Down" remained at the top spot for three weeks, only to be undermined by Depeche Mode's "Dream On" on April 20, 2001, and then returned to the top for another week on April 27. The single sold over 120 000 copies, becoming their biggest hit.[1]
Lollipops promoted the single with numerous performances on television programs. Among the tracks on the CD single, in addition to two remixes, there was also "Everybody Come On (Wanna Be a Popstar)", the theme song of the TV show Popstars reinterpreted by the girl group.
