As a teenager, Sangalo started to sing and play acoustic guitar at events, festivals and presentations of the school where she studied. Her debut show happened in the Ondina Neighborhood, Salvador, in August 1992. With that show she won the Dorival Caymmi trophy, the Grammy of Bahian music.
In 1993, Sony decided to reform the axé group Banda Eva and she was chosen as the lead singer. With her charismatic image, their first album soon topped the Brazilian album chart. Her live album with the band, Banda Eva Ao Vivo, was their best-selling album, selling over a million copies in 1997. In 1999, she decided to start a solo career and released her first self-titled album. With lots of upbeat Bahian rhythms and axé, the album received gold and platinum certification. The following year she released another album, Beat Beleza, which also achieved platinum status.
In 2001 she released the album Festa. The title teack was very popular and the album got platinum certification. "Festa" was her biggest hit single up to that point and the video also received huge airplay. "Festa" ended up being the most popular song of 2001 in Brazil. In 2002, she released the compilation album Se Eu Não Te Amasse Tanto Assim, titled after one of her biggest number-one hits. The album, which features a duet with American singer Brian McKnight, didn't sell as much , but was still a hit. Following Se Eu Não Te Amasse Tanto Assim, she released Clube Carnavalesco Inocentes Em Progresso in 2003. It was the lowest-selling solo album of her career but it still managed to receive gold certification.
Her first solo live album MTV Ao Vivo Ivete Sangalo released in 2004, included her biggest hits, lots of them never released on an album before, and some Banda Eva hits. The album received diamond certification and was the second best-selling album of 2004.
Her 2005 album, As Supernovas, received triple platinum certification shortly after it's release. The album was less upbeat than the others and included some songs with a 70's touch, with the big influence of Brazilian singer Ed Motta. She also included the hit "Soy Loco Por Ti America", a Gilberto Gil song. "Quando a Chuva Passar" recently reached number two on the Brazilian singles chart and was notable for being nominated at the Latin Grammy Awards, an uncommon feature for a non-Spanish speaking singer.
On December 16, 2006, she performed in the biggest stadium in the world, Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro, where Paul McCartney, Rolling Stones, Kiss, The Police, and Madonna have also performed. She was the first Brazilian act to perform in this stadium since pop phenomenon Sandy & Junior in 2002.
Ivete has sold more than 7 million CD copies and more than 2.5 million DVD copies.

Ivete Sangalo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That we should be together
It's unbelievable
How I used to say
That I'd fall never
The basis is need to know
If you don't know
Just how I feel
That I'm for real
If all things in time
Time will reveal
One
You're like a dream come true
Two
Just want to be with you
Three
Girl, it's plain to see
That you're the only one for me
And four
Repeat steps one through three
Five
Make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
Then I'll start back at one
It's so incredible
The way things work themselves out
And all emotional
Once you know what it's all about, hey
And undesirable
For us to be apart
I never would have made it very far
'Cause you know you've got the keys to my heart
One
You're like a dream come true
Two
Just want to be with you
Three
Girl, it's plain to see
That you're the only one for me
And four
Repeat steps one through three
Five
Make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
Then I'll start back at one
Say farewell to the dark of night
I see the coming of the sun
I feel like a little child
Whose life has just begun
You came and breathed new life
Into this lonely heart of mine
You threw out of the lifeline
Just in the nick of time
One
You're like a dream come true
Two
Just want to be with you
Three
Girl, it's plain to see
That you're the only one for me
And four
Repeat steps one through three
Five
Make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
Then I'll start back at one
The song "Back at One" by Ivete Sangalo is a cover of Brian McKnight's song. The lyrics talk about an undeniable love between the singer and the person they are addressing. The first verse highlights the intensity of their love and how it is hard to believe that they were not always together. The use of "need to know" shows how the relationship is based on mutual understanding and trust. The singer wants to prove to their partner that their love is real, and if given time, they will see that it is.
The chorus is a series of steps that the singer wants to take to build a strong and lasting relationship. It starts with admiring the person's qualities as if they were a "dream come true" and expressing the desire to be with them. The repetition of steps one to three indicates that the singer is willing to put in the effort to make the relationship work. Step four could imply that there may be setbacks or disagreements, but the singer is willing to work through them. The ultimate goal is to make the other person fall in love with them and never stop striving to be better in the relationship as evidenced by the line, "If ever I believe my work is done, then I'll start back at one."
The second verse touches on how it is unfortunate for the two to be apart and how far the singer could not have gone without their partner. The chorus follows, showing the singer's commitment to the relationship, and their intention to make it work. The bridge talks about the positive impact that the relationship has had on the singer's life. It acknowledges how their partner has breathed new life into their "lonely heart" and offered a "lifeline" just in time.
Overall, the song is a declaration of love and a promise to build a lasting relationship.

1 = Amor e Devoção: A letra fala sobre um amor profundo e inegável entre duas pessoas. A ideia é que eles foram destinados a estar juntos, e o protagonista não consegue acreditar como costumava resistir a esse amor. A mensagem central é sobre a conexão intensa e real entre os dois.
2 = Passos do Amor: A parte que menciona os números (One, Two, Three, Four, Five) pode representar etapas ou fases do amor. Cada número pode simbolizar um estágio do relacionamento, desde a descoberta do amor até a construção de um vínculo sólido. A repetição desses números pode representar o ciclo contínuo do amor e do crescimento mútuo.
3 = Aceitação e Rendição: O trecho sobre "É impossível / Fingir que posso controlar / O que estou sentindo" sugere uma aceitação de que o amor é algo que não pode ser negado ou controlado. Essas linhas falam sobre render-se aos sentimentos e à atração que ambos sentem, e que tentar resistir seria fútil.
4 = Renovação e Esperança: A imagem de "Say farewell to the dark night / I see the coming of the sun" pode representar deixar para trás momentos difíceis e sombrios e abraçar um novo começo cheio de esperança e luz. Isso pode indicar que o amor trouxe uma transformação positiva na vida do protagonista.
5 = Persistência no Amor: A repetição do verso "If ever I believe my work is done / Then I'll start back at one" pode destacar a ideia de que o trabalho no relacionamento nunca está realmente concluído. Mesmo após superar desafios e alcançar um nível mais profundo de amor, é importante continuar investindo no relacionamento para mantê-lo forte.
6 = Declaração e Compromisso: A letra também é uma declaração de amor e compromisso. O protagonista expressa o desejo de estar ao lado da pessoa amada, de recomeçar e construir uma nova vida juntos. Essa parte da letra fala sobre a felicidade encontrada no amor e na presença do outro.

Eu amo essa música.
(I love that song.)
😔😢
Como um videoclipe, todas as pessoas e eu queremos voltar no passado, mas no presente, estávamos muito tristes... porque algumas pessoas estavam perdidas e outras morreram por suicídio/morte, acidente, desastre /pandemic, e também as celebridades (atores e cantores) e atletas também.
(Like a music video, all people and I we want to go back in the past, but at the present, were really sad...because some of the people were lost and some of them were dead by suicide/kill, accident, disaster/pandemic, and also the celebrity (actors & singers) and athletes too.)
Eu sempre uso a Deus para memórias.
(I always use to god for a memories.)
