In 'Por Você,' Sorriso Maroto explores the theme of unconditional love and the lengths one is willing to go for the person they cherish. The lyrics are a heartfelt declaration of the extreme sacrifices and changes the narrator is prepared to make to prove their devotion. From dancing tango on the ceiling to walking from Rio to Salvador, the song is filled with hyperbolic expressions that emphasize the depth of the narrator's commitment.

The song uses vivid and sometimes humorous imagery to convey the extent of the narrator's willingness to change their life for their loved one. For instance, the idea of cleaning subway tracks or taking cold showers in winter are extreme actions that highlight the narrator's readiness to endure discomfort and hardship. These exaggerated scenarios serve to underline the sincerity and intensity of their feelings.

The willingness to accept life as it is, travel to hell, or even change one's name signifies a profound level of dedication. The repetition of the phrase 'Por você' (For you) throughout the song reinforces the central message of selfless love and the idea that true love knows no bounds. Sorriso Maroto, known for their romantic pagode style, effectively uses this song to connect with listeners on an emotional level, making it a relatable anthem for anyone who has ever been deeply in love.
