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.

Se você não quer me ouvir?
Fugir agora não resolve nada
Mas não vou chorar
Se você quiser partir
Às vezes a distância ajuda
E essa tempestade
Só quero te lembrar
De quando a gente
Andava nas estrelas
Nas horas lindas
Que passamos juntos
A gente só queria amar e amar
E hoje eu tenho certeza
A nossa história não
Termina agora
Pois essa tempestade
Um dia vai acabar
Quando a chuva passar
Quando o tempo abrir
Abra a janela e veja
Eu sou o sol
Eu sou céu e mar
Eu sou céu e fim
E o meu amor é imensidão oh oh oh oh
Só quero te lembrar
De quando a gente
Andava nas estrelas
Nas horas lindas
Que passamos juntos
A gente só queria amar e amar
E hoje eu tenho certeza
A nossa história não
Termina agora
Pois essa tempestade
Um dia vai acabar
Quando a chuva passar
Quando o tempo abrir
Abra a janela e veja
Eu sou o sol
Eu sou céu e mar
Eu sou céu e fim
E o meu amor é imensidão
Quando a chuva passar
Quando o tempo abrir
Abra a janela e veja
Eu sou, eu sou o sol
Eu sou céu e mar
Céu e fim
E o meu amor é imensidão oh oh oh oh
The song "Quando a Chuva Passar" by Ivete Sangalo can be interpreted as a plea to an unresponsive partner to remember the good times they had together and not give up on their relationship. The lyrics begin with the singer questioning why they should bother talking since their partner is not listening. The singer acknowledges that running away will not solve their problems, but they will not cry if their partner chooses to leave. The singer suggests that distance can sometimes help, and that the storm they are currently experiencing will eventually come to an end.
In the chorus, the singer reminds their partner of the beautiful moments they shared together, when they walked among the stars and loved each other without reservation. The singer is certain that their story is not over yet, and that the storm will eventually pass. The second verse repeats the same message as the first, with the singer emphasizing that the storm will end and the sun will shine again. The last lines of the song declare the singer's identity: they are the sun, the sky and the sea, and their love is boundless.
Overall, the song can be seen as a call to persevere through difficult times in a relationship, and to remember the love and connection that brought the two partners together in the first place.
