Why flaunt muscles when you can flaunt the market? David Castello-Lopes sings from the perspective of a modest, slightly awkward guy who keeps hearing that he is bland, unexciting, even useless. Clubs ignore him, lovers overlook him and he freely admits he is not the poster boy for passion. His secret weapon, though, is pure economics: “Bébé, mate le PIB” (Baby, check out the GDP). Instead of bragging about looks or charisma, he invites everyone to admire the solid, reliable prosperity he represents.
The song playfully contrasts surface-level attraction with long-term stability. While the cool, mysterious men might win the first dance, the singer is confident that, years down the line, comfort and security will prove irresistible. Wrapped in catchy “Woho” choruses, this tongue-in-cheek anthem turns gross domestic product into a flirtation tactic, reminding us that sometimes steady dependability—and a healthy economy—beat flashy but fleeting thrills.
