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.

REFRÃO
Não quero mais sofrer de amor
Felicidade como for
Meu bem
Você não soube me conquistar
Pois tinha medo de me amar
Foi só passatempo
E você nem ligou
Mas meu coração se entregou nesse amor
Um doce segredo ficou pelo ar
Vontade tão louca de te encontrar
REFRÃO
The lyrics of Sandy e Junior's song "Felicidade Como For" speak of a person who doesn't want to suffer anymore because of love. This person seems to have been left by someone who was just looking for a fling and didn't want to commit to a real relationship. The person's heart, however, became invested in this love and they still desire to be with that person. Despite the hurt and heartbreak caused, the person still seeks happiness in any form it may come, hence the refrain "Felicidade Como For" which translates to "Happiness however it may come".
The chorus of the song has a contradictory feeling as the verses. The person expresses their disillusioned state, opening up about their pain and suffering but still holding on to hope that they will find happiness. The verses tell the story of someone who was left heartbroken and abandoned by a lover. The person didn't feel that they were valued, and they were just someone's past-time. Despite all these setbacks, the person still finds themselves caught up in a desire to hold on to the passionate moments they shared with their lover. They choose to keep their love alive and hope that it will blossom into something real.
