Gosto De Ti ("I Like You") is a warm Portuguese pop duet where siblings David and Sara Carreira show how a simple phone call can feel like a lifeline. Whenever the singer feels down, they wake their favorite person just to talk, and the minutes stretch into 3 a.m. confessions about everything that hurts and heals. What starts as a restless night turns into a shared safe space where trust is absolute.
The repeated refrain "O quanto eu gosto de ti" highlights a love that words almost cannot contain, whether it is romantic or a deep friendship. No matter the distance, the promise is clear: I am always there for you, I want life to make you happy, and I will never let you feel alone. The track celebrates that rare bond that turns long conversations into comfort, shrinks miles into inches, and reminds us that sometimes the most powerful sentence in Portuguese, or any language, is simply "I like you so much."
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.
