“Você Não Presta” is Mallu Magalhães’s playful yet punchy anthem of self-worth. Singing in Portuguese, the Brazilian artist lays out her rules loud and clear: she owns her scars, follows her own compass, and happily opens the doors of her inner “empire” to everyone… except one toxic guest. The repeatedly chanted line “Eu convido todo mundo para a minha festa, só não convido você porque você não presta” (“I invite everyone to my party, I just don’t invite you because you’re no good”) turns the song into a cheeky, carnival-flavored dis-invitation. In other words, Mallu is throwing the bash of self-confidence and firmly crossing the name of anyone who brings bad vibes off the list.
Beneath the upbeat rhythm and witty lyrics sits a deeper message: knowing your limits is as important as celebrating freedom. By contrasting carnival imagery with warnings against overthinking, never crying, or never failing, Mallu reminds us that real joy comes from embracing imperfection and dancing through life’s ups and downs. So press play, feel the samba-tinged beat, and remember: your party is big enough for the whole world—just don’t forget to keep the haters outside the gate.
