"Não Teve Amor" is considered the cry of freedom of Joelma, flagship of the launch and the singer found that no relationship post-end life and delivers a candidate to hit the old group's success templates, the Caribbean calypso dominating the track. "Se Vira Aí" comes as a zouk with electronic elements, showing that Joelma is focused on stepping on the painful betrayal. The singer says that those who lost out in the coexistence was the other side. "Ai Coração" announces a nostalgic ballad, is not the night to the day we forget a love, and Joelma know it.
