The song '50 Reais' by Naiara Azevedo, featuring Maiara e Maraisa, is a powerful narrative of betrayal and self-respect. The lyrics tell the story of a woman who discovers her partner's infidelity in a particularly painful way: by finding him with another woman in the same motel where they spent their honeymoon.

The song's tone is a mixture of sarcasm, hurt, and empowerment. The protagonist confronts the cheating couple with biting remarks, questioning if she's interrupting their 'lovely' moment. Her discovery confirms her intuition about her partner's unfaithfulness, and she expresses her disappointment with a score, 'one to zero for my intuition,' indicating that her suspicions were correct. Despite the pain, she chooses not to engage in violence but instead leaves the money, a symbolic gesture that shows her refusal to be further demeaned by the situation.
