The song was written by the Greek composers Alec R. Costandinos and Stélios Vlavianós. The recording was produced by Demis Roussos. In 1975, the same year Roussos released the song, it was performed in Greek by Greek singer Marinella, but her version went unnoticed.
In the Soviet Union, "From Souvenirs to Souvenirs" was the most popular of all of Demis Roussos's songs. According to radio presenter Boris Barabanov [ru], Roussos didn't consider "From Souvenirs to Souvenirs" an international hit and before one of his first concerts in the USSR in the 1990s[when?] Balabanov had to explain to him that the audience would not let him leave the stage without singing "From Souvenirs to Souvenirs".
Roussos recorded a German version of this song (titled "Mein Leben ist ein Souvenir") on his 1976 German-language album Die Nacht und der Wein.
