Formed in 1990, Sandy & Junior began by singing children's songs and sertanejo-influenced tracks (their first single, "Maria Chiquinha", is a classic sertanejo song). Once they reached adolescence, they changed their style to pop-influenced songs, mainly ballads and upbeat songs. The style-change was around the mid 1990s. Their albums Era Uma Vez... Ao Vivo (1998), As Quatro Estações (1999), Quatro Estações: O Show (2000) and Sandy & Junior (2001) sold more than a million units and were certified multi-platinum or diamond in Brazil.
They had a self-titled weekly television series between 1999 and 2003 on Rede Globo and released the movie Acquaria in 2003; Sandy also starred the soap opera Estrela Guia (Globo) in 2001. Earlier, they had appeared in Renato Aragão movie O Noviço Rebelde, in 1997. Both have experienced solo work: Junior was the drummer of alternative rock band Nove Mil Anjos (which also features former Charlie Brown Jr. member Champignon on bass guitar), and part of an EDM duo called Manimal. Sandy, on the other hand, has a solid solo carreer.
In 2002, they were the first national artists to do a paid concert at Maracanã stadium in Rio.
The duo announced on 17 April 2007 that an MTV Unplugged album to be recorded in May 2007 would be their final work together, through a video posted on their website addressed to their fans and in a press conference, stating also that their career as a duo would be over at the end of 2007.
Their 17 years of career has granted them partnerships with several national and international artists, such as Xuxa, Roberto Carlos, Milton Nascimento, Toquinho, Gilberto Gil, Ivete Sangalo, Andrea Bocelli and Enrique Iglesias, and more than 20 million albums sold around the globe, making them the ninth best selling Brazilian artists of all time.
In March 2019, after a 12-year hiatus, the duo announced a new tour to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their first performance together, Nossa História Tour. Starting in July 2019, the siblings commemorated their successful career with their greatest hits in a tour through the largest cities in Brazil.
Don't Say You Love Me
Sandy e Junior Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've felt this all before
And every time you call,
I've waited there as though you might not call at all.
I know this face I'm wearing now
I've seen this in my eyes
And though it feels so great I'm still afraid
We've done this once and then you closed the door,
Don't let ma fall again for nothing more
Don't say you love me unless forever,
Don't tell me you need me if you're not gonna stay,
Don't give me this feeling I'll only believe it,
Make it real or take it all away
I've caught myself smiling alone,
Just thinking of your voice,
And dreaming of your touch it's all too much,
You know I don't have any choice.
The lyrics of Sandy e Junior's song "Don't Say You Love Me" speak about a relationship characterized by ambiguity and insecurity. The singer confesses that they have experienced this situation before, expressing their fear that their partner will leave them at any moment. They have been hurt in the past, and they don't want to go through the same pain again. The singer is stuck in a cycle of waiting for their partner's call, even though they are afraid that they won't call. They are torn between their feelings of love and the fear of being hurt.
The lyrics emphasize the need for honesty and commitment within a relationship. The singer is asking their partner not to say that they love them unless they mean it forever. They do not want to hear that they are needed unless their partner is truly willing to stay. The singer does not want to be given false hope, as it will only result in more pain. They want their partner to make a real commitment or to take everything away.
The song's chorus is particularly powerful, emphasizing the importance of authenticity in relationships. The lyrics remind us that love and commitment are choices that we make and that they require honesty, trust, and respect. The song is a cautionary tale about the danger of playing games and not being true to our feelings.

I've seen this place a thousand times,
I am used to this situation
I've felt this all before
I have experienced this before
And every time you call,
Whenever you contact me
I've waited there as though you might not call at all.
I have waited for you, uncertain if you would actually get in touch
I know this face I'm wearing now
I am aware of my current emotions
I've seen this in my eyes
I can recognize these feelings in myself
And though it feels so great I'm still afraid
Despite how good it feels, I am still scared
That you'll be leaving anytime
That you might depart soon
We've done this once and then you closed the door,
We have tried this before and it ended abruptly
Don't let ma fall again for nothing more
Do not let me get my hopes up again for no reason
Don't say you love me unless forever,
Do not claim to love me if it is not forever
Don't tell me you need me if you're not gonna stay,
Do not express your need for me if you won't remain with me
Don't give me this feeling I'll only believe it,
Do not make me feel that way if it is not true
Make it real or take it all away
Either confirm it's real or get rid of it
I've caught myself smiling alone,
I have been caught smiling to myself
Just thinking of your voice,
Merely pondering the sound of your voice
And dreaming of your touch it's all too much,
And fantasizing about touching you is overwhelming
You know I don't have any choice.
You know I can't help it
