Ex Amiga

In 'Ex Amiga,' Mari Fernandez delves into the raw emotions of betrayal and heartbreak. The song narrates the story of a woman who discovers that her ex-partner is now romantically involved with her former best friend. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the protagonist's emotional turmoil, as she grapples with feelings of jealousy, anger, and disbelief. The repetition of phrases like 'Ó quem tá com a boca na boca da minha amiga' (Look who's kissing my friend) and 'Não era minha amiga' (She wasn't my friend) underscores the depth of her betrayal and the shock of realizing that someone she trusted has turned against her.

The song also explores themes of trust and friendship. The protagonist reflects on how she used to confide in her friend, even calling her during arguments with her partner. This trust makes the betrayal even more painful, as it wasn't just a romantic relationship that was broken, but a deep friendship as well. The use of the word 'rapariga' (a derogatory term for a promiscuous woman) to describe her former friend highlights the protagonist's anger and sense of betrayal.

Mari Fernandez's musical style, which blends traditional Brazilian rhythms with contemporary pop elements, adds an extra layer of emotional intensity to the song. Her powerful vocals convey the protagonist's pain and anger, making the listener feel the weight of her emotions.
