Just because I'm still alone
Just because I'm not posting
doesn't mean I'm hurting
or that I'm waiting for you
I don't get a thing
this stack of voice notes with your sob stuck
I think the longing caught you
when it crossed your mind someone making out with me
I smell a heart freaking out
Weren't you the one who was gonna go out
gonna party, gonna grind?
who'd forget with the first kiss?
Why you crying, baby?
Why you crying, baby?
Weren't you the one who was gonna go out
gonna party, gonna grind?
who'd forget with the first kiss?
Why you crying, baby?
Why you crying, baby?
Just because I'm still alone
Just because I'm not posting
doesn't mean I'm hurting
or that I'm waiting for you
I don't get a thing
this stack of voice notes with your sob stuck
I think the longing caught you
when it crossed your mind someone making out with me
I smell a heart freaking out
Weren't you the one who was gonna go out
gonna party, gonna grind?
who'd forget with the first kiss?
Why you crying, baby?
Why you crying, baby?
Weren't you the one who was gonna go out
gonna party, gonna grind?
who'd forget with the first kiss?
Why you crying, baby?
Why you crying, baby?
Weren't you the one who was gonna go out
gonna party, gonna grind?
who'd forget with the first kiss?
Why you crying, baby?
Why you crying, baby?
Weren't you the one who was gonna go out
gonna party, gonna grind?
who'd forget with the first kiss?
Why you crying, baby?
Why you crying, baby?

SONG MEANING

Porque Choras Bebê, by Brazilian artist Marília Tavares, is a cheeky post-breakup taunt wrapped in a catchy sertanejo melody. The singer addresses an ex who once bragged about moving on quickly, partying hard, and forgetting her after the very first kiss. Now the roles have flipped: while she enjoys her single life offline, he floods her phone with tearful voice messages. The song pokes fun at his sudden burst of saudade (deep longing) and highlights the irony of someone who thought they would be perfectly fine yet crumbles at the thought of her with someone new.

Rather than wallowing in heartache, Marília serves confidence and humor. She reminds her ex – and the listener – that being quiet on social media does not mean being lonely or desperate. With the repeated question “Por que choras, bebê?” (“Why are you crying, baby?”), she flips the usual breakup narrative, turning the track into an empowering anthem for anyone who has ever been underestimated after love ends.
