In '2%' by Enzo Rabelo, the artist delves into the emotional turmoil of regret and longing. The song's protagonist is making a desperate phone call with only 2% battery left, symbolizing the last-ditch effort to reconnect with a lost love. The lyrics poignantly capture the sense of urgency and the overwhelming odds against him, with a 98% chance of rejection. This stark contrast between the slim hope and the high likelihood of failure underscores the depth of his desperation and the emotional stakes involved.

The repeated imagery of punching the wall and being perceived as 'sem noção' (without sense) highlights the protagonist's frustration and self-awareness of his seemingly irrational actions. He acknowledges that he might be interrupting the other person's night, which he assumes is going better than his own, filled with nothing but saudade—a Portuguese word that encapsulates a deep sense of longing and nostalgia. This cultural reference adds a layer of depth to the song, as saudade is a complex emotion often associated with Brazilian music and literature.

The chorus reflects on the mistakes made, questioning why he let the person go and admitting his fault in not reaching out sooner. The line 'Caso essa ligação cair e seu coração acelerar, você sabe onde me encontrar' (If this call drops and your heart races, you know where to find me) suggests a glimmer of hope that the other person might still have feelings for him. The song ends as it begins, with the protagonist clinging to the last bit of battery and hope, encapsulating the raw and relatable emotions of regret, longing, and the fear of missed opportunities.
