Você Mentiu is a bittersweet pop duet where Anitta teams up with Brazilian legend Caetano Veloso to vent about a partner whose lies keep shattering trust; the chorus’s insistent “Você mentiu” (“You lied”) is both an accusation and a self-reminder that they shouldn’t believe, shouldn’t call, shouldn’t accept another reckless excuse, even while a flicker of hope lingers that the liar will someday learn what love really is, step out of a dull black-and-white world into vibrant color, and talk without hurt or resentment—so the track becomes a catchy anthem of self-respect, disappointment, and stubborn optimism.
