Trouxa is a colloquial and somewhat informal word in Portuguese that means "gullible" or "fool". It's used to describe someone who is easily deceived or taken advantage of.
In the song, the singer repeatedly says "Eu sou tipo FBI só que trouxa" (I'm like the FBI, but gullible/a fool). This creates an interesting contrast, as she sees herself as intelligent and observant like the FBI, but also acknowledges her foolishness in being deceived in a relationship. It's a relatable and engaging word that captures the song's central theme of being smart yet vulnerable in love.
Giulia Be puts on her detective hat in “FBI,” a playful pop anthem about following your intuition when love starts looking suspicious. The Brazilian singer turns heartbreak into a crime-scene investigation, describing how she pieces together clues, taps into her gut feeling, and ultimately uncovers her boyfriend’s secret girlfriend. Even while she jokes that she is “FBI, só que trouxa” (an FBI agent, but a fool), Giulia’s sharp wit shows listeners that trusting your instincts is never silly.
Humor, sass, and a dash of girl-power solidarity drive the story. Instead of attacking the other woman, Giulia recognizes their similarities and saves her energy for calling out the unfaithful guy – “falso, bobo, insensível.” The song mixes catchy “do-do-do” hooks with references to Sherlock Holmes and Watson, turning a cheating drama into a cinematic whodunit that makes you want to sing along, laugh, and maybe text your best friend, “See? I knew it all along!”
