Mimicat’s “Ai Coração” is a playful, cabaret-flavoured lament in which the singer chats directly with her own runaway heart. From the first sigh of “Ai, coração!” she paints a comic yet relatable scene: her pulse is racing, her head and throat are tied in knots, and even the doctor throws up his hands. Love has turned her into a dizzy, sleepless mess, and the neighborhood owls and nosy neighbors are the only witnesses to her late-night suffering.
Beneath the tongue-in-cheek drama lies a universal confession: unreturned—or overwhelming—love can make us feel like we are no longer ourselves. Burning chest, dry mouth, forgotten memories… every symptom points to a heart that refuses to calm down. By repeatedly asking “Diz-me lá se és meu” (Tell me, are you still mine?) she begs for reassurance that the turmoil is worth it. The result is a spirited anthem for anyone who has ever pleaded with their own heart to behave, all wrapped in Mimicat’s signature retro-pop flair.
