Eu Quero Ser Como Você Lyrics in English Jão

Have you ever wished you could borrow someone else’s confidence for a day? In “Eu Quero Ser Como Você,” Brazilian pop star Jão turns that wish into a heartfelt confession. He sings from the perspective of someone who feels messy, intense, and too emotional while admiring another person who seems perfectly balanced. Every verse contrasts his own dramatic meltdowns with the other’s easy charisma, painting a vivid picture of envy mixed with admiration.

Behind the catchy melody, the song digs into themes of insecurity, jealousy, and the exhausting habit of comparing ourselves to others. Jão admits he “falls apart at every ending,” while the object of his admiration simply “moves on with life.” He begs, “Please teach me to be like you,” revealing both vulnerability and a desperate hope for self-improvement. The result is a relatable anthem that reminds us how tempting it is to idolize others—and how important it is to find peace in our own imperfect skin.
