The Weeknd & Anitta – So Paulo

“São Paulo” is a bold collaborative single by The Weeknd and Anitta, released on October 30, 2024, alongside a visually captivating and surreal music video that has stirred considerable online discussion.

Key Details:

• Release Date: October 30, 2024
• Artists: The Weeknd and Anitta
• Album: Featured on The Weeknd’s upcoming album Hurry Up Tomorrow

Music Video Concept:
In the music video, Anitta appears in a surreal narrative, depicting her as pregnant with a bizarre, mouth-like belly, sparking interpretations of rebirth and transformation. As she walks through New York City, she experiences contractions and ultimately “gives birth” to a mouth that begins singing. This strange and symbolic storytelling aligns with The Weeknd’s signature style, rich with layered meanings.

Musical Elements:
“São Paulo” blends Brazilian funk elements, including a sample of “Bota na Boca, Bota na Cara” by Tati Quebra Barraco, which brings a unique international flavor to the track. Anitta performs her verses in Portuguese, adding to the cultural depth and fusion.

Themes and Interpretations:
Thematically, the track is seen as a significant turning point for The Weeknd as he moves away from his “The Weeknd” persona to embrace his real identity, Abel Tesfaye. The music video visually represents this rebirth, with Anitta symbolically giving life to his new self, echoing The Weeknd’s recent statements about “killing off” his stage identity.

Reception:
The music video has rapidly garnered millions of views, reflecting strong fan interest. Its unconventional visuals have, however, sparked a range of reactions across social media.

Overall:
“São Paulo” stands as an intriguing collaboration, symbolizing artistic transformation and showcasing an impactful blend of international music influences. It marks an important step in The Weeknd’s evolving artistic journey.

The Weeknd & Anitta – So Paulo Lyrics

[Part I] [Intro: Anitta]

Put it in the mouth, put it on the face, put it wherever you want
Put it in the mouth, put it on the face, put it wherever you want

[Refrain: Anitta]

The young dude looked at me and wanted to fuck my little pussy
Today, I’ll give it to the young dude, fuck, fuck the “larissinha”
The young dude looked at me and wanted to fuck my little pussy
Today, I’ll give it to the young dude, fuck, fuck the “larissinha”

[Verse: The Weeknd]

Every time I try to run, you put your curse all over me
I surrender at your feet, baby, put it all on me
Every time I try to pray you away, you got me on my knees
I surrender at your feet, baby, put it all on me

[Chorus: The Weeknd]

I love it when you turn me on
I love it when you turn it on
I love it when you turn me on
So come back in and turn it on

[Refrain: Anitta & The Weeknd]

Put it in the mouth, put it on the face, put it wherever you want (Turn me on)
(Turn me on) The young dude looked at me and wanted to fuck my little pussy
(Turn me on) Today, I’ll give it to the young dude, fuck, fuck the “larissinha”
(Turn me on) The young dude looked at me and wanted to fuck my little pussy
Today, I’ll give it to the young dude, fuck, fuck the “larissinha” (Turn me on)

[Bridge: Anitta]

Put it in the mouth, put it on the face
Put it in the mouth, put it on the face
Put it in the mouth, put it on the face
Put it in the mouth, put it on the face
Put it in the mouth, put it on the face, put it wherever you want

[Instrumental Break] [Part II] [Verse 1: The Weeknd]

Baby, ride me ’til the darkness of the night
Kill me softly like you want me euthanized, oh yeah

[Pre-Chorus: The Weeknd]

Hot like risin’ sun, burnin’ everything she touch
She don’t even want your money, can buy you and someone else
She’s addicted to the rush, I can never get enough
She desensitized to money, need to pay with something else

[Chorus: The Weeknd]

Baby, you turn me on
Baby, you turn me on
Baby, you turn me on
Girl, you turn me on

[Verse 2: The Weeknd]

Hit it from the back, she louder than two sold-out nights
I think she fell in love, she said she trust me with her life, oh

[Pre-Chorus: The Weeknd & Anitta]

Hot like risin’ sun, burnin’ everything she touch
She don’t even want your money, can buy you and someone else
She’s addicted to the rush, I could never get enough (Put it in the mouth, put it on the face, put it in the mouth, put it on the face)
She desensitized to money, need to pay with something else

[Chorus: The Weeknd]

Baby, turn me on (I love it when you turn me on)
I love it when you turn me on (I love it when you turn me on)
See how you turn me on? (I love it when you turn me on)
I love it when you turn me on, oh (So now I gotta turn it on)

[Bridge: The Weeknd & Anitta]

Oh, baby
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Take it easy, easy on me (Put it in the mouth, put it on the face, put it wherever you want)
Take it easy, easy on me, oh (Put it in the mouth, put it on the face, put it wherever you want)
Take it easy, easy on me
Oh, oh, oh

[Outro: Anitta]

Put it in the mouth, put it on the face, put it wherever you want
Put it in the mouth, put it on the face, put it in the mouth, put it on the face
Put it in the mouth, put it on the face
Put it in the mouth, put it on the face
Put it in the mouth, put it on the face, put it wherever you want
