De Graça ou Pagando

Grelo’s song "De Graça ou Pagando" takes a direct approach to the end of a romantic relationship. The lyrics start with the singer reflecting on the breakup and his ex’s claim that he wouldn’t find anyone better. However, he pushes back against this, pointing out that, in today’s world, nobody has to stay alone, as there are plenty of people around.

The recurring phrase 'De graça ou pagando (Free or paid)' suggests that the singer is open to being with other women, even if it involves paying for female escorts. Grelo makes it clear that he plans to move on from his past relationship by seeking out new sexual experiences, using the line 'então sou das do job agora (so now I’m with the call girls)' to explain that after being rejected, he’s turning to call girls as an easy way to find pleasure and distraction.

He emphasizes that his ex girlfriend isn’t irreplaceable, noting that there are plenty of other attractive people out there. The repeated lines 'Não é só sua pepeca que tem mel (It’s not just your pussy that’s sweet like honey)' and 'Não é só sua boca que sabe levar pro céu (It’s not just your lips that know how to take me to heaven)' highlight how central physical intimacy was in their relationship and his intention to find that elsewhere.
