Tô Nem Aí

The song "Tô Nem Aí" by Larissa Manoela is a vibrant declaration of independence and self-empowerment after the end of a relationship. The lyrics describe a person who has been deeply involved with their partner, to the point of losing themselves ('De mãos atadas, de pés descalços'). The narrator speaks of a past where they were overly committed ('Sempre armada, segui seus passos'), and how they made significant efforts to keep the relationship alive, even when it was detrimental to their well-being.

However, the chorus 'Tô nem aí' which translates to 'I don't care' or 'It doesn't bother me,' marks a turning point. The narrator has moved past caring about the former partner or what they are doing ('Pode ficar com seu mundinho'). They have consciously decided to forget the person ('Já nem lembro seu nome'), erase their contact information, and start anew. This shift represents a strong statement of self-care and the importance of prioritizing one's happiness over a toxic relationship.

The song's message is further emphasized by the narrator's refusal to engage with the ex-partner's issues ('Não vem falar dos seus problemas'). It's a clear boundary-setting, indicating that they have moved on and are focused on their own life. Larissa Manoela, through this song, delivers a relatable message for many who have experienced the struggle of leaving a difficult relationship and the subsequent journey of self-discovery and empowerment.
