He says he doesn't want me
He doesn't miss me
He just won't say it's a lie
He just won't say it's a lie
Doesn't know where I'm at
He's been asking, finds the irony
Finds the irony
Oh, my destiny
Oh, the evil eye
Oh, to be the ex-boyfriend's best ex
I hear your prayers, I say goodbye
He says your mouth is worthless
I lost faith in what your kiss gave
Promises from an atheist who now prays
Give him your hand
Oh, I admitted I was wrong
I saw it coming that you'd turn your back
But you got locked in
Oh, I took the key when I closed the door
Now, love, in your chest it still rains
But it drowns the heart
After bad luck comes good luck
Oh, but not after me
He says he doesn't want me
He doesn't miss me
He just won't say it's a lie
He just won't say it's a lie
Doesn't know where I'm at
He's been asking, finds the irony
Finds the irony
Oh, my destiny
Oh, the evil eye
Oh, to be the ex-boyfriend's best ex
Tick-tock, tell everyone I've flipped
I saw, in fact, that the beautiful turns ugly
Oh, it turned, now that you're going through what I went through
Oh, love, he says he won't come back
But if I– oh, love
He's the first, he's at my door– oh, love
Oh, but not now
He says he doesn't want me
He doesn't miss me
He just won't say it's a lie
He just won't say it's a lie
Doesn't know where I'm at
He's been asking, finds the irony
Finds the irony
Oh, my destiny
Oh, the evil eye
Oh, to be the ex-boyfriend's best ex

Ever had an ex who pretends they're completely over you, but you know they're not? That’s the story of Bárbara Bandeira’s sassy track, "Mau Olhado"! The title translates to 'Evil Eye,' which is a type of curse. Bárbara cleverly uses this idea to describe her ironic 'destiny': being such an amazing ex-girlfriend that her ex-boyfriend can't forget her. She sings about how he tells everyone he doesn't miss her, but secretly, he's asking his friends where she is and what she's doing.

This song is a powerful anthem about taking back control after a breakup. Bárbara knows her ex regrets letting her go, describing him as an 'atheist who now prays'—meaning he didn't value their relationship before, but now he's desperately hoping she'll return. She confidently declares that she 'took the key when I closed the door,' showing that she is the one who has moved on. The song's ultimate burn is the line, 'After bad luck comes good luck, but after me, no.' It’s the perfect track for feeling strong and knowing your worth!
