Deve Ter Sido Eu is Clarice Falcão’s gleefully dark confession of a heart that pretends to have healed while still plotting cartoon-style disasters for the new girlfriend. With her trademark mix of sweetness and sarcasm, Clarice lists everyday proofs that she has moved on: the ex’s sneakers are in the trash, she cannot recall his license plate, and even his birthday is a blur. Yet every time the poor new girl almost chokes on peanuts, stumbles on a busy street, or is struck by a rogue lightning bolt, the singer imagines herself as the secret mastermind behind the chaos. The lyrics turn jealousy into a comic book vendetta, complete with hospital visits, public embarrassment, and references to Fatal Attraction.
Beneath the humor lies an honest look at how lingering resentment can outlive love itself. The song captures that irrational urge to blame someone else for the heartbreak, even when logic says the relationship is over. Clarice’s playful storytelling invites the listener to laugh at the absurdity of wishing misfortune on a rival while owning up to the pettiness we all sometimes feel. It is a catchy reminder that letting go of an ex might be easy compared to letting go of our grudges.
