The Pursuit of Happiness and Self-Motivation

Slow J's song "Só Queria Sorrir" delves into the deeply personal and universal struggle of finding motivation and happiness amidst life's challenges. The repetitive chorus, "Primeiro a motivação, P'ra me tornar quem eu quiser ser," emphasizes the importance of self-motivation as the first step towards becoming who one wants to be. This line is a powerful reminder that the journey to self-fulfillment begins with an internal drive to change and improve oneself.

The lyrics also touch on the theme of battling depression, as seen in the line, "Só queria sorrir e nunca mais viver depressin'." Slow J expresses a desire to overcome the weight of depression and find joy in life. This sentiment is relatable to many who have faced similar struggles, highlighting the importance of mental health and the ongoing effort to maintain it. The song's repetition of this desire underscores the persistent nature of this battle and the continuous effort required to achieve and sustain happiness.

In the verses, Slow J reflects on the difficulty of maintaining motivation, especially when faced with setbacks and self-doubt. Lines like "Sempre quis mudar o mundo, mas não mudo" and "Sempre que isso falhou senti-me um fracasso" reveal the artist's internal conflict and feelings of failure when his ambitions don't materialize. Despite these challenges, the song ultimately conveys a message of resilience and hope. The artist acknowledges that the journey is ongoing and that true success is determined by one's inner sense of accomplishment rather than external validation.

The song's introspective nature and its focus on personal growth, mental health, and resilience make it a poignant and relatable piece for listeners. Slow J's candid exploration of these themes encourages others to reflect on their own journeys and find the motivation to pursue their happiness and well-being.
