SONG MEANING

Ready to let go? That's the question pulsing through Salto’s Portuguese-language gem “Deixar Cair” (which means “Let It Fall”). Over a sleek indie-pop groove, the singer describes a tug-of-war with someone who refuses to see what is right in front of them. He admits to faking indifference, pretending not to let that person fall, yet he keeps ending up in the same place. The repeated line “Não vou mais ficar atrás de quem não quer ver” (“I won’t stay behind someone who doesn’t want to see”) becomes a mantra of self-respect.

By the end, the song flips from quiet resignation to bold resolve. Salto decides to stop chasing, stop explaining, and finally drop the weight of unreciprocated attention. It is a crisp, catchy reminder that holding on can feel safe, but letting go sets you free.
