Solteiro de Novo

Felipe Araújo's song 'Solteiro de Novo' captures the essence of a young man's return to single life after a failed attempt at a relationship. The lyrics reflect a candid and humorous take on the protagonist's efforts to change himself for the sake of a relationship, only to find that it didn't work out. The song begins with the protagonist explaining how he tried to 'fix' himself by entering a relationship, hoping to change his ways. However, despite his best efforts, the relationship didn't succeed, leading him to share his story with his friends.

The contrast between the protagonist's life in a relationship and his friends' carefree single life is vividly portrayed. While he was at the cinema and eating ice cream, his friends were out partying and drinking cachaça, a popular Brazilian spirit. This juxtaposition highlights the protagonist's sense of missing out on the fun and freedom that his friends were enjoying. The lyrics suggest that dealing with the liver (through drinking) is easier than dealing with the heart (through emotional turmoil), emphasizing the relief and liberation he feels upon returning to single life.

The chorus, where the protagonist joyfully announces his return to his friends and invites them to drink, underscores the theme of camaraderie and the celebration of newfound freedom. The repetition of 'Meus amigos, voltei!' (My friends, I'm back!) and 'Bora beber' (Let's drink) conveys a sense of excitement and relief. The song resonates with anyone who has experienced the ups and downs of relationships and the bittersweet feeling of returning to singlehood. Felipe Araújo's lively and relatable lyrics, combined with a catchy melody, make 'Solteiro de Novo' an anthem for those embracing their independence and enjoying life with friends.
