Garoto Errado is Manu Gavassi’s playful confession of battling a crush on the exactly wrong boy. From the first verse she’s already spiraling: her heart races, her thoughts spin, and every teasing glance from him flips her world upside-down. The lyrics read like a diary entry where reason shouts “run away” while emotion whispers “stay,” capturing that delicious tug-of-war between wanting to protect your heart and craving the thrill of possibility. Manu paints the crush in vivid snapshots—his smile, the way he annoys her on purpose, the instant loss of words when he shows up—until the listener is right there with her, laughing, blushing, and overthinking every little signal.
Beneath the bubbly pop melody lies a universal truth: sometimes the people who set off the loudest alarm bells are the ones we daydream about most. Manu sums it up with the irresistible line “você é o tipo certo de garoto errado” (“you’re the perfect kind of wrong boy”), reminding us that love rarely follows logic. The song’s charm is in its honesty and humor; it turns fumbling uncertainty into a sing-along anthem, proving that even when our heads say “don’t fall,” our hearts often choose their own beat.
