She made an impact across Europe with her album Bossa Muffin. As the title suggests, for the album she drew on the traditions of the samba and the bossa nova and the melodies of the forro from northeastern Brazil, but she and her red-hot band worked in ragga and hip-hop to create a stylish yet mischievous mix.

Eu deixo o ninho
Tanto fez que a hora chegou
Só quis um pouco do seu amor
Só um pouquinho
Tanto fez que a hora chegou
Sorrindo
Ela é a única que te deu
Carinho
Amor assim
Papai você não me programou
Foi um delirio
De uma noite de desamor
Uma transa assim pesquisa ao
Seu destino
Foi você foi que me falou
Agora pego na sua mão
Sorrindo
Digo que não quero te deixar
Sozinho
Na dor assim
Eu te perdôo, já passou
Não precisa se arrepender
Quando nasci você chorou
Mamãe amava você
Levo uma foto de mamãe
Sorrindo
Ela é a única que te deu
Carinho
Amor assim
Papai não chora, a hora chegou Assim...
The song "A Foto" by Flavia Coelho tells the story of a daughter who is leaving home and saying goodbye to her father. The lyrics begin with her reassuring her father not to cry, as it's time for her to leave the nest. She only wanted a little bit of his love and attention, and now the moment has come for her to depart. She carries a photo of her mother, the only one who gave her father love and care, and she wants to make sure he isn't left alone in his pain. She forgives him for not planning her arrival and explains that her existence was the result of a night of passion. She wants to let him know that she doesn't want to leave him alone, just like her mother did.
The song contains a mix of emotions; it is both melancholic and soothing. The lyrics are simple yet powerful, painting a picture of a father-daughter relationship. The daughter's departure is bittersweet, and the photo she carries with her serves as a reminder of her mother's love, which may be the only source of comfort for her father. The song taps into universal themes, including the love between a parent and child, forgiveness, and the endurance of memories.
