“Zero” surrounds you with warm Brazilian soul grooves, but its real spotlight is on the electric chemistry between two people who just can’t keep their minds off each other. From the very first “A gente fica mordido, não fica?” (We get bitten, don’t we?), Liniker paints a scene of playful bites, lingering looks and the memory of a kiss on the neck. The song moves like a slow-burn summer night: rich horns, velvet-smooth vocals and a heartbeat rhythm that mirrors the thrill of new desire.
Beneath the sensual surface, the lyrics reveal a tender anxiety. The singer treasures even the most ordinary details of the relationship, packing them all “na malinha de mão do meu coração” – a tiny carry-on suitcase of the heart. There’s a push-and-pull between passion and caution, captured in the refrain “com medo de te transpassar” (afraid of piercing you). When Liniker pleads “Deixa eu bagunçar você” (Let me mess you up), it’s both a mischievous invitation and a confession of vulnerability: love can be chaotic, but it’s worth the beautiful mess. The result is a song that celebrates desire, respect and the sweet ache of wanting more.
