Pepita started her career as a funk dancer. While performing in Rio nightclubs, the singer was presented with the song "Tô a Busca de um Homem" by a friend, and immediately launched into her musical career. Her first show was in the city of São Paulo.
In 2014, a video of the dancing artist was leaked on the internet, without Pepita's consent. With the viralization of the video, the artist quickly reached great visibility and several new fans, becoming a meme of frequency in the gay community. The success and fame culminated in the release of the artist's first EP, entitled "Grandona pra Caralho" (one of the artist's catchphrases, which refers to the prejudiced comments made on her body).
In 2017, the artist returned to the spotlight with the release of the song "Chifrudo", in partnership with drag queen Lia Clark. In January, the artist also released a new single, "Uma Vez Piranha".

Já fez o picumã?
Já afiou as garras?
Já limpou o piano?
Já colocou a pig?
Agora 'ta na hora de chamar, vem vai
Chama, chama
Chama, chama
Eu não falei bonita
Eu não falei pintosa
Eu não falei Patrícia
Eu não falei gostosa
Vem menino ou menina
Muito menos princesa
Sabe o que eu falei?
Sabe o que eu falei?
Chama, chama, chama a beleza
Chama, chama, chama a beleza
Chama, chama, chama a beleza
Chama, chama, chama a beleza
Vem, vem, vai
Eu quero ver agora
Me afronta, me afronta
Boca no ombro, boca no ombro

Me afronta, me afronta (vai!)
Boca no ombro, boca no ombro (só as braba, vai)

The lyrics of Pepita's "Chama a Beleza" reveals a call to those who want to embrace their beauty, confidence and attitude. The song is a call for people to embrace their own beauty, to let it shine out of them and not be afraid of it. The chorus repeats the phrase "chama a beleza" (call beauty) in a chant-like fashion, emphasizing the need to embrace and celebrate one's beauty. The lyrics encourage the listener to sharpen their claws, clean their piano, and get ready to embrace their inner beauty.
The song carries a message of empowerment and self-confidence. It speaks to those who might have been made to feel ashamed of their beauty or told to hide it away. Instead of conforming to expected social norms or being limited by societal constructs, the song invites the listener to channel their confidence and embrace their true self.
Interestingly, "Chama a Beleza" has become an anthem for the LGBTQ+ community in Brazil. Pepita, the artist behind the song, is a transgender woman who gained prominence in Brazil after releasing the song in 2017. The song has gone on to become an anthem for LGBTQ+ empowerment, with the message of embracing one's true beauty resonating strongly with the community.
