“Olha Pra Nós” is a sultry, feel-good anthem where Portuguese pop star David Carreira paints a picture of two lovers who simply cannot keep their hands—or their thoughts—off each other. The lyrics are a playful back-and-forth: whenever one partner turns away, the other already knows exactly “where to place a hand,” proving their chemistry is almost telepathic. Carreira celebrates that electric moment when grown-up life feels overwhelming and all you want is to rewind time to the beginning, to the easy thrill of being together. Every glance, every kiss, and even those tell-tale marks on the neck become proof that this connection is real, undeniable, and worth ignoring gossip for.
At its heart, the song is a joyful reminder that love can be both passionate and uncomplicated. Carreira invites us to stop overthinking, forget what the world says, and simply “look at us”—two people counting down the days until they can be alone again. The repeated refrain “faz assim que eu não te esqueço” (“do that and I won’t forget you”) turns the track into an irresistible loop of attraction and devotion, making listeners want to hit replay and keep the spark alive.
David Carreira is one of Portugal's biggest pop stars. Born in Dourdan, France, in 1991 and raised in a famously musical family as the son of the singer Tony Carreira, he broke through in 2011 with the album "N.1", which went straight to number one at home. Since then he has moved easily between radio pop, ballads and dance rhythms, and in 2019 he became the youngest Portuguese artist ever to sell out the Altice Arena in Lisbon.
On "Menta" he shares the microphone with Djodje, a Cape Verdean singer, songwriter and producer born in Praia in 1989 and now based in Lisbon. Djodje grew up surrounded by music, started out as a teenager in the group TC, and has become one of the leading voices of kizomba and Afropop across the Portuguese speaking world. His warm, laid back delivery, part of it sung in Cape Verdean Creole, is what gives this song its island heat.
