Corpo Fechado (feat. Gaby Amarantos)

Johnny Hooker's song 'Corpo Fechado,' featuring Gaby Amarantos, is a powerful anthem of self-empowerment and liberation from toxic relationships. The lyrics convey a strong message of resilience and self-worth, emphasizing that the protagonist will not be brought down by the negativity, hatred, or envy of others. The repeated lines 'Se depender do seu ódio / Eu não morro mais' (If it depends on your hate / I won't die anymore) and 'Se depender da sua inveja / Eu não morro mais' (If it depends on your envy / I won't die anymore) highlight the protagonist's determination to rise above the ill will directed at them.

The song also addresses the theme of breaking free from a harmful relationship. The lines 'Já me desenganei desse amor marginal / Cê não vale um real' (I've already disillusioned myself with this marginal love / You're not worth a penny) reflect the protagonist's realization of their partner's worthlessness and their decision to move on. This sentiment is further reinforced by the repeated chorus 'Chora, chora, chora / Não / Diz que vai embora / Não' (Cry, cry, cry / No / Say you're leaving / No), which serves as a defiant rejection of the partner's attempts to manipulate or control them.

The collaboration with Gaby Amarantos adds an extra layer of strength and solidarity to the song. Her verse, 'Nem vem com esse papo, que eu sei bem quem tu és! / Tu já levou farelo, chora nos meus pés' (Don't come with that talk, I know well who you are! / You've already been left behind, cry at my feet), reinforces the message of empowerment and self-respect. The song's upbeat tempo and catchy melody further amplify its empowering message, making it a rallying cry for anyone who has ever felt oppressed or undervalued in a relationship.
