Escolha Certa

The Right Choice: A Love That Lasts
In 'Escolha Certa,' Henry Freitas delves into the complexities of modern relationships and the quest for genuine love. The song's protagonist addresses a partner who is hesitant to fully commit due to past experiences with fleeting romances. The lyrics reveal a deep-seated fear of being hurt again, which leads the partner to avoid the possibility of a new relationship, even though they have feelings for the protagonist.
Freitas contrasts himself with the transient 'amores de hoje'—the fleeting loves of today that last only a night and are driven by physical desires rather than emotional connections. He emphasizes that he is not like those who say they love but only seek temporary pleasure. Instead, he presents himself as someone who has matured beyond childish behaviors and is ready for a serious, lasting relationship.
The repeated plea, 'Deixa eu te mostrar que eu sou a escolha certa,' underscores his desire to prove that he is the right choice. He reassures his partner that he is not just another party-goer but the love they have been waiting for. The song beautifully captures the longing for a meaningful connection and the hope that, together, they can find completeness in each other. Through its heartfelt lyrics, 'Escolha Certa' speaks to anyone who has ever yearned for a love that goes beyond the superficial and stands the test of time.
